Frequently Asked Questions
Are these knives new?
All of the KA-BAR knives sold here are absolutely brand new!
We are continuously ordering factory fresh inventory from the KA-BAR factory in Olean New York to re-stock our product supply. These knives are sold to you exactly as they come from the factory. We will never sell a used or returned knife.

(We will eventually have special collector’s website pages in which we will offer certain new and used limited collector’s knives, but all items will be plainly marked and described as new or used.)

What kind of guarantee do these knives have?
All knives are backed by KA-BAR with a limited lifetime guarantee against defects and workmanship.
We at Tomar's KA-BAR Knives guarantee that we will supply you with only factory fresh quality KA-BAR knives and accessories that are authentic, original, and directly from the legendary KA-BAR knife company.

Do your knives come already sharpened ?
All knives are precision sharpened from the KA-BAR factory when they are made. 
The blades comes as sharp as they could possibly be and are mechanically precision sharpened to the maximum cutting edge. This will provide you long lasting edge retention, with a longer use period before re-sharpening will be required.

I am having trouble paying with my credit card on line.
The most common problem normally encountered is verification of information. Your information such as name, address, and account number are registered together when the account was originated and will not be accepted if altered in any way. If the account is listed in, (example), a husband's name, a wife enters his name and account number but uses her name in the address because she wants to use the item as a gift for her husband, security will deny the payment as a protection to the account holder because the original information has been altered.
Another common problem is an actual account holder will attempt to make the payment for a gift and change the account billing address to have the gift sent directly to the gift recipient, security will automatically deny the payment and view it as a possible stolen card which is attempting to deviate the original account information in an attempt to illegally use the account. To solve this problem, enter all of the accounts original information including the original address associated with the card, then in the message area on the payment page, enter the shipping information or other instructions you may wish to convey to us. You can also call us directly with your credit card information.
