Ka-Bar US Army Knife
This is Ka-Bar's classic fixed-blade fighting knife in its US Army edition, with a plain straight edge for clean slicing and easy sharpening in the field. It keeps the familiar pattern of a black clip point blade, stacked leather handle and steel guard, and adds US Army markings on both the blade and the sheath. It suits soldiers, veterans, collectors and outdoor users who want a proven field knife with Army identification.
Features
- Straight Edge Blade — The plain, unserrated edge cuts smoothly and is simple to resharpen on a stone or rod.
- Clip Point Profile — The back of the blade dips toward the tip, giving a fine point for piercing and detail work.
- Black Coated Finish — A dark coating covers the blade and cuts down on glare.
- Blade Fuller — A long groove runs along the flat of the blade, a traditional feature of this knife pattern.
- Stacked Leather Handle — Leather rings stacked along the grip with grooves between them give your hand a secure hold.
- Steel Double Guard — A flat black guard on both sides of the handle helps stop your hand from sliding onto the edge.
- US Army Markings — The blade is stamped US ARMY on one side and KA-BAR OLEAN NY on the other.
- Brown Leather Sheath — The sheath carries an embossed KA-BAR logo, the US Army eagle emblem and U.S. ARMY lettering.
- Snap Retention Strap — A leather strap with a snap closes over the handle to keep the knife seated in the sheath.
Sheath and Carry
The sheath is stitched and riveted along its edges and has a wide leather belt loop at the back for carry on a duty or trouser belt. A small hole near the tip lets you tie the sheath down to your leg or pack so it does not swing. The knife comes with this sheath, so you can carry it straight out of the box.

The Army Deserves Every Bit of Its LegendLook, i've got a few Ka-Bars at this point the USMC 1217, the black Kraton-handled version, and now the 1220 Army straight edge and honestly the differences between them are mostly cosmetic (the U.S. ARMY stamp vs USMC stamp, the tan leather handle vs the darker one), but each one scratches a different collector itch. The 1095 Cro-Van steel on this thing is exactly what it should be: takes a wicked edge once you get past the slightly rough factory grind... and yes, it does come a bit rough out of the box, that's a known thing with Ka-Bar. Twenty minutes on a fine stone and a strop and you've got something genuinely impressive. The stacked leather handle has that classic look and smell (well, maybe not everyone loves the smell lol) and it fits the hand perfectly for extended use. I did compare this seriously to the Ontario SP-1 Spec Plus before buying the Ontario is cheaper and the injection-molded handle is arguably more weather-resistant but it just doesn't have the heritage, the aesthetics, or the Olean, NY craftsmanship that Ka-Bar brings. Made in the USA, stamped proud, exactly what i wanted.
Made in USA Olean, NY stamp on the blade
Factory edge is rough and needs touching up before first use,

ExcellentHave always wanted the Army version of a Ka-Bar and finally got one. Beautiful knife. I'm not a knife guy but like I said, always wanted one. Really liked the pamphlet included which told the history of Ka-Bar. Seems to be a very high quality knife and is very sharp. Happy with my purchase and with Keep Shooting. Quick delivery and well packaged. Have purchased from them in the past and like this purchase everything was as described, well packaged and shipped quickly. So IMHO Keep Shooting is good to go.
