USMC
KA-BAR
The legendary KA-BAR
Knife, battle
tested toughness and simplicity.
Adopted by the U.S. Marines during WWII, and later by all other
branches of the military to some extent. Originally
manufactured by the Union cutlery company, KA-BAR knives, inc. is now
owned by the ALCAS corporation. KA-BAR owners swear by these
things... they never go dull, and they never wear out.
Stainless
steel blades are also an option.
Next Generation KA-BAR
The next generation KA-BAR is a
good looking knife, with and oval handle and butt plate, and a
lanyard hole. The black KRATON G (tm) handle gives it a modern
look, but its every bit as tough as its older brother - the original
USMC KA-BAR. At 7", the blade may be a little long for some,
but overall, these knives are great... and will probably be
handed down from you to your next generation.
The Name "KA-BAR" allegedly comes
from a letter sent to the manufacturer from a trapper, after he
killed a bear with his KA-BAR. Supposedly the guy wasnt the
most literate, and all that was legible in the letter was "K A BAR".
