USMC Leather Handled Utility Knife

The most famous fixed blade knife in the World – “the KA-BAR” but with a MOLLE compatible hard sheath. This utility knife is constructed of 1095 Carbon Steel with a differential heat treatment for easy sharpening. The 7″ blade is stamped with USMC Blade Mark on the pile side and KA-Bar, Olean NY on the obverse side of the knife. The black blade is created by baking a smooth epoxy coating for a lasting and durable finish. The distinct oval shaped leather handle construction on the famous USMC knife is made by first compressing leather washers onto the tang, shaping and coloring them, and then fastening them on with a pinned on butt cap.
