Shortly after the start of World War II, KA-BAR began working with the Marine Quartermaster to design a fighting knife for the United States Marine Corps. Soon, production was under way on the fighting/utility knife that would later make KA-BAR a widely recognized name.
When the war escalated, the demand for the fighting/utility knives became so great that KA-BAR could not keep up. As a result, the government assigned several knife companies to create similar knives for those serving during the War.
Still, KA-BAR’s wartime production totaled more than one million knives. The KA-BAR knives became so well recognized for their quality and so abundant that “KA-BAR” became the name by which most referred to this style fighting/utility knife.
The traditional KA-BAR marked for Army personnel. Blade features U.S. Army tang stamp.
This knife is made proudly in the USA.
