The KA-BAR USMC Serrated Edge is the modern evolution of the most famous fixed-blade knife in history. While it shares the same iconic profile and build quality as its straight-edge counterpart, this version introduces a powerful serrated section to the 7-inch 1095 Cro-Van steel blade.
This serrated edge makes the knife exceptionally effective at cutting through fibrous and synthetic materials like rope, webbing, or canvas. Consequently, it is a top choice for utility, survival, and tactical applications. The blade’s durable black coating protects it from the elements, while the classic stacked leather handle provides a timeless look and a reliable grip.
This model includes a high-quality brown leather sheath, proudly embossed with the USMC “Eagle, Globe, and Anchor” logo. For additional information on their historic lineup, visit the official KA-BAR website.
If your tasks demand a traditional, smooth blade, we also recommend the KA-BAR USMC Fighting Knife, Straight Edge 1217. To properly honor and safeguard this historic blade, consider displaying it in the Tomar’s 1431-AB presentation case.
