My son recently earned his Eagle Scout rank, and has his Eagle Court of Honor coming up in a few weeks. Though he doesn't yet know it, we will have a contingent of U.S. Marines present him with a certificate of congratulations. Along with that he'll be presented a Ka Bar Marine Fighting Knife. Cool eh?!

My question: Do Ka Bar knife blades, handles, or sheathes need any special care? I've only seen pics on-line - never held one myself.
