KA-BAR U.S.M.C. OEF Afghanistan

KA-BAR KB-9169 USMC OEF AFGHANISTAN

Firm Ka-bar became famous mainly for its series of military knives, such as the USMC Marine Corps knife or later the Next Generation Fighting Knife model. The Ka-Bar USMC model was used as standard equipment by the US Navy during World War II, and soldiers used these knives not only as weapons, but also as tools to assist them in other activities.

Ka-bar knives continued to be used in the military during conflicts in Vietnam, Korea, and in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm, and many have found fans among tourists and bushcraft enthusiasts.

Similar to screen printing on T-shirts, KA-BAR applies gold color to its standard KA-BAR knives and creates intricately decorated, detailed works of art, designed to honor and commemorate those men and women in uniforms who serve their country. These commemorative series are highly sought after by collectors.

The blade is made of 1095 cro-van steel with a black surface finish. The steel hardness is 56-58 HRC. The handle is made of leather rings. The sheath is also made of leather.
