The name KA-BAR is steeped in American history, as it’s the common name for the knife used by the US Marine Corps (and other parts of the army) since 1942. While the knife was produced by various manufacturers alongside KA-BAR, it was this name that became colloquial for the blade.
The name KA-BAR comes from a customer’s early experience using their knives to kill a bear while being attacked. With knives serving the military and outdoor professionals, these premium American blades are made from top-tier materials that you can rely on no matter what the occasion.
KA-BAR USMC Knives
Arguably KA-BAR’s most recognisable range, the USMC knives are made to the same specs as those used by the US Marine Corps. Designed to be both a combat knife and a utility tool, the USMC knife offered a simpler design compared to previous models.
With a straight leather handle and clip-point blade, the USMC KA-BAR knife is a fantastic utility tool popular amongst many outdoor professionals. With modern additions including serrated edges, it’s clear to see why this knife has remained popular over generations.
