This compact model of the classic KA-BAR combat knife is lightweight and nimble, but with a 5.25” 1095 carbon steel blade, it’s still got plenty of power. Featuring the iconic KA-BAR clip point blade, a flat ground edge, blood groove, and black coating, this fixed blade knife can stand up to almost any cutting task. The handle is made from stacked leather, bonded together in a comfortable oval shape, with a small guard and 12GA carbon steel pommel.

Pro tip:
Black powder coating is used to protect the blade from corrosion and rust. The matte finish also provides tactical benefits: it eliminates glare in sunny conditions and offers camouflage for night operations.
