The KA-BAR Modified Tanto Fixed Blade (SKU #1266) is an aggressive, American-made tactical knife blending the classic KA-BAR fighting utility design with a powerful Japanese-inspired blade shape. Unlike the angular American Tanto, the blade on the #1266 features a smoother, more traditional Japanese tanto profile, which offers exceptional piercing strength and a long, versatile cutting edge. The blade is forged from tough, proven Cro-Van carbon steel, known for its outstanding edge retention and durability, and is finished with a non-reflective black coating for corrosion resistance. The handle is made from Kraton G®, a durable, weather-resistant synthetic material that retains the comfortable, ergonomic oval shape of the classic KA-BAR leather handle, ensuring a secure and reliable grip in all conditions. This knife is a formidable tool for military, tactical, survival, and utility use. It comes complete with a rugged, MOLLE-compatible glass-filled nylon sheath.
