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.
