KA-BAR

Since its roots as Union Cutlery Co. in 1898, KA-BAR has been renowned for the iconic Fighting/Utility knife adopted by the USMC during World War II. The flagship 7″ 1095-carbon-steel blade with leather-washer handle set the standard for a dual-purpose combat and utility knife, combining exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance and ergonomic grip for demanding environments.
Today’s KA-BAR lineup extends well beyond the original USMC pattern to include high-performance fixed blades like the D2 Extreme, compact “Dust” utility knives and specialised fighting knives crafted from modern alloys and handle materials—each built to withstand the toughest field conditions.

Whether you’re skinning game, gutting fish or reinforcing camp gear, our KA-BAR collection equips you with tools built to last. Popular models on offer include the D2 Extreme Utility Knife, Dust I utility knife, USA Fighting/Utility Knife, USMC Fighter and the 125th Anniversary edition—each engineered for maximum durability and performance.

How to Choose Your KA-BAR Knife

Care & Maintenance Tips

Clean & Dry: Wipe blade and handle after each use to remove moisture and prevent corrosion
