Description
Since the 1940’s, the Ka-Bar Short 5.25″ Fighting/Utility knife has been a trusted companion for Soldiers, Marines and Seamen alike. Now with the tradition that more than half a century brings, combined with modern tooling and construction, the Ka-Bar Fighting/Utility fixed blade knife is ready for the next 50 years of service with our armed forces personnel, first responders or outdoor enthusiasts.
Featuring the iconic clip point blade, 1095 Cro-Van steel is painstakingly ground and heat treated to ensure each knife is tough and durable while remaining easy to sharpen to a hair popping edge. Black Kraton G handles are contoured into the familiar oval shape, comfortable in hand while providing excellent traction and control.
Safely nestled between the finger guard and pommel, the Ka-Bar Fighting/Utility knife remains secure in hand whether you’re in close quarters combat or blazing a trail through thick vegetation. The black leather sheath adds to the aesthetic appeal of the knife with secure belt carry.

This knife is extremely strong. But some things I did notice, maybe it’s supposed to be this way. The steel for the blade is wavy you can feel it’s not smooth at all. Secondly it doesn’t come very sharp at all. It’s more asking the lines of a butter knife. But the tip is very sharp. If it’s supposed to be more of a weapon and not as much a working tool. It’s exactly what is supposed to be. If you’re buying it for the purpose of stabbing something. This is right up your alley.
