KA-BAR

KA-BAR Knives, Inc., a renowned name in the world of cutlery, has been crafting high-quality military, hunting, sporting, all-purpose utility, and outdoor survival knives since 1898. With a commitment to excellence, each Kabar knife undergoes rigorous manufacturing processes and testing to ensure superior corrosion resistance, strength, and edge holding ability, providing users with an out-of-the-box razor sharp cutting edge.

One of KA-BAR’s most famous knives is the #1217, which holds a significant place in history. During World War II, KA-BAR submitted this knife to the United States Marine Corps, leading to the adoption of the USMC KA-BAR knife across various branches of the military. Its quality and abundance earned it the moniker “Kabar,” becoming synonymous with this knife pattern.

The USMC KA-BAR knife has served in conflicts beyond WWII, including the Korean, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Iraqi Freedom conflicts, making it a trusted choice for service members. Today, it remains a favorite among adventurers, survivalists, outdoor sportsmen, and knife collectors alike.

We are proud to offer a wide range of KA-BAR products in our store, including the iconic USMC Fighting and Utility Knife and other popular models.
