This iconic knife features a 7-inch straight-edge blade crafted from legendary 1095 Cro-Van steel. As a result, it provides exceptional toughness and impressive edge retention. Furthermore, the blade’s black protective coating resists corrosion and minimizes reflection. The handle, constructed from stacked leather washers, offers a secure and comfortable grip that molds to your hand over time.
This model includes a high-quality brown leather sheath, proudly embossed with the USMC “Eagle, Globe & Anchor” logo. Whether you are adding to a collection or equipping yourself for the outdoors, this knife is an essential tool. For more information on their full lineup, visit the official KA-BAR website.
If you prefer a serrated edge for cutting synthetic materials, we also highly recommend the KA-BAR USMC Utility, Serrated Edge 1218. To properly honor and safeguard this historic blade, consider displaying it in the Tomar’s 1431-AB presentation case.
