The most famous fixed blade knife in the World - "the KA-BAR" - was designed to serve our troops during World War II and is still doing its job, with honors, nearly 70 years later.
Features Ka-Bar's famous oval shaped leather handles. The blade is made of high-carbon 1095 tool steel coated with a black epoxy powder, with carbon steel guard and powder metal butt caps. The original and the 3/4 version are available only with the long time standard leather sheath known to three generations of sailors. A very modern Kydex® hard service sheath is available separately.
