USMC KABAR

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, KABAR 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.  
USMC KA-BAR 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".
