This knife is built for uncompromising durability. It features a 7-inch straight-edge blade forged from 1095 Cro-Van steel, which is renowned for its toughness and ease of sharpening. Furthermore, the blade is protected by a black, non-reflective coating to resist corrosion. The handle, made from stacked leather washers, provides a secure, comfortable grip that has been proven in the field for decades.
This model includes a high-quality brown leather sheath, distinctively embossed with the U.S. Army logo. Whether for a collection, for use in the field, or for survival, this knife is a legendary tool. For more information on their full lineup, you can visit the official KA-BAR website.
If your tasks require a serrated blade for cutting through ropes or webbing, we also highly recommend the KA-BAR U.S. Army Serrated Edge 1219. To properly honor and safeguard this historic blade, consider displaying it in the Tomar’s 1431-AB presentation case.
