is it made in the U.S.

I have purchased one through another outlet. The knife is made in the U.S. The leather sheath is made in Mexico.

Are all Ka-Bar's stamped with USMC? Having never served I would not feel right purchasing one with a logo. It would be disrespectful in my eyes.

I am an Air Force veteran but feel no sense of disrespect for enjoying owning a famous and classic knife. My first Ka-Bar was purchased by my father in an Army-Navy store in Boston in 1945 for the magnificent sum of $0.50 and I now carry one in the emergency kits in each of my vehicles (at much higher prices obviously)!

Is this a full tang knife? Meaning, does the blade goes all the way through the handle? Thanks!

by definition this is considered a full tang knife, meaning the tang extends the full length of the handle. some people are describing it as a rat tail but that isn't correct as a rat tail tang is large and round at on end and narrows down at the end. The tank of this knife remains the same throughout. The tang is the size it is because of balance and utility. These knives are made to the exact standards as they were during WWII. If it was good enough for the Marines to use in combat, digging trenches, opening crates and containers, then it should be good enough for anyone.

does it come with a sheath? cause I see a sheath bundle option for some reason.....

Yes. They need to pull that sheath bundle option down. It comes with a very nice Mexican-made sheath. Mexican sheaths are known for the highest hide quality, thickness, craftsmanship. You'll see.
