Ka-Bar US Army Fighting Knife - Serrated

US Army Ka-Bar Knife

This is the Ka-Bar fighting knife in its US Army dress: a black clip point blade with a serrated section near the guard, a stacked leather handle, and a brown leather sheath embossed with the U.S. Army eagle and lettering. It is a fixed-blade knife meant for heavy cutting, field chores and belt carry. It also suits soldiers, veterans and collectors who want the classic Ka-Bar pattern with Army markings.

Features

• Clip Point Blade — The back of the blade dips down toward the tip, giving a fine point for piercing and detail work.
• Partially Serrated Edge — A row of saw-like teeth near the guard handles rope, webbing and fibrous material, while the plain edge forward of it slices cleanly.
• Black Coated Finish — The blade carries a dark non-reflective coating that keeps glare down in the field.
• Fuller Along The Blade — A long groove runs down each side of the blade, a traditional feature on military fighting knives.
• Stacked Leather Handle — Rings of leather are stacked and shaped with grooves between them to give your fingers a secure hold.
• Steel Crossguard — A flat guard between blade and handle helps stop your hand from sliding forward onto the edge.
• Black Pommel Cap — A rounded cap closes off the end of the handle and holds the leather stack in place.
• Ka-Bar Stamped Blade — The base of the blade is stamped KA-BAR OLEAN NY, the maker's name and hometown.
• U.S. Army Leather Sheath — The brown leather sheath is riveted and stitched, embossed with the Army eagle, and closes with a snap strap over the handle.

Sheath And Carry

The sheath has a belt loop on the back and a snap retention strap that wraps over the handle to keep the knife seated. Brass-colored rivets and stitching run along both edges, and a small hole at the tip lets you tie the sheath down to your leg or gear so it does not swing. The KA-BAR logo sits at the throat above the U.S. Army seal.
