Description
Features
- 6.75" 1085 Carbon Steel Blade — Hollow-ground, razor-sharp fixed blade built for hard chopping, batoning, and heavy field cutting.
- 1/4" Thick Stock — Quarter-inch blade thickness gives the Warthog the rigidity to pry, split, and abuse without flex or failure.
- 52–54 HRC Rockwell Hardness — Heat-treated for an ideal balance of edge retention and easy resharpening with just a few strokes on a stone.
- Non-Reflective Black Coating — Matte black finish cuts glare and protects the carbon steel from rust and surface wear.
- Kraton G Thermoplastic Handle — Grippy, shock-absorbing scales hold firm in wet, cold, or gloved hands and include a riveted lanyard hole.
- Drop Point Profile — Wide, forward-heavy drop point delivers strong tip strength and serious chopping authority.
- 12.25" Overall Length — Full-tang construction at 1.05 lbs gives the Warthog the heft of a small camp blade without crossing into machete territory.
- Included Sheath — Ships with a durable nylon and leather sheath secured by twin snaps for safe carry and quick draw.
- Made in Taiwan — Built to Ka-Bar's spec for budget-friendly heavy-duty performance backed by the Ka-Bar name.

Underrated Workhorse, Dont Sleep On ItI was kinda skeptical when I saw it was made in Taiwan but honestly after using it for a few months I have zero complaints about the quality, Ka-Bar clearly still put their standards into this thing. I use it mainly for camp tasks like feathersticking and batoning smaller logs and it handles both better than knives that cost twice as much. The deep recurve on the blade is what sets it apart, gives you a ton of usable cutting surface and makes it feel like you have more knife than you're actually holding. Only thing id say is the handle is pretty large so if you got smaller hands it might feel like a lot at first but you adjust. For a fixed blade that does it all this is honestly hard to beat.
Deep recurve blade design gives excellent cutting performance, Works great for everything from feathersticking to heavy chopping
Handle size may feel too large for people with smaller hands

K-bar warthogOne heck of a knife! You can cut tent stakes with it then pound them in the ground with it. Splitting firewood (batoning) would be a snap! The thickness of the blade is unreal, and the handle is perfect. Great knife.

Warthog does it all.I bought the warthog at the same time I ordered an Ontario Rat-7. I watched several videos showing how the Rat-7 performed, and the warthog performed better or better at these same tasks. It has a well-designed handle that is very comfortable in hand and eliminates hand fatigue when used for extended periods. The large blade shape is unusual, but this blade works well for campsite and bushcrafting.
