The Ek Commando Presentation Knife EK13 is a stunning tribute to the classic Ek dagger design, crafted for display and ceremonial use. This knife honors the legacy of John Ek’s original models while utilizing modern, premium materials for a flawless finish.
This dagger is built around a 6.625-inch double-edged blade, which is forged from 440C stainless steel. For this presentation model, the blade is polished to a brilliant, mirror-like shine. This finish highlights the knife’s iconic dagger profile and provides natural corrosion resistance.
Furthermore, the handle is constructed from handsome lacquered walnut scales, molded into the traditional Ek Commando shape for a secure grip. The knife is complemented by a striking copper-coated stainless steel guard, adding to its display-worthy appearance.
While this version is built for presentation, its roots are in combat. For those seeking a field-ready version of this iconic design, the Ek Commando Knife EK44 offers the same ergonomics with a non-reflective, practical finish.
This knife is proudly manufactured in the USA. For more information on their full lineup, you can visit the official KA-BAR website. As a premium collector’s piece, this knife is a perfect fit for the Tomar’s 1431-AB presentation display case.
