Ka-Bar 1245 Tanto Style Half Serrated Fixed Blade Knife

$144.99
SKU:
In Stock

This Ka-Bar fixed blade is the ultimate modern tanto knife. It features a powerful, yet well balanced 8-inch blade forged from 1095 Cro-Van steel, with a partially serrated edge and a long swedge. The Kraton handle has a rubbery high-grip surface texture and is capped with a 12GA carbon steel pommel and full guard. Coupled with a glass-filled nylon sheath, this knife is designed for the toughest of tasks.

Why choose this knife?

  • Full tang tanto blade has tremendous piercing strength
  • Partially serrated edge capable of tearing through fibrous materials
  • Long swedge reduces blade weight
  • Double guard protects your hand from slipping onto blade
  • Ribbed Kraton handle provides a firm grip
  • Comes with MOLLE compatible hard plastic sheath

Why not?

  • Serrated edge does not make clean cuts
  • Tanto blade has narrow belly

Pro tip:
The tanto knife blade takes its name and shape from the traditional Japanese tanto sword, originally designed to pierce armor in battle. The front edge of the blade meets the back at an angle, rather than a curve, maintaining its spine thickness almost all the way to the tip. This removes the blade’s belly, but creates an extra strong point, ideal for thrust cuts and piercing.
