This version preserves the iconic durability while offering more convenient dimensions for carry and everyday use. The handle is made of stacked natural leather washers and provides a comfortable and secure grip that remains reliable even in cold weather. The classic handle shape is complemented by a pronounced steel guard to protect the hand and a massive steel pommel. The classic KA-BAR knife feels extremely solid and confident in hand. The 133 mm blade retains the traditional Clip Point profile and is made from 1095 carbon steel. This steel is known for its high strength and long edge retention, but it requires proper care to prevent corrosion. To simplify maintenance and give the knife a tactical appearance, a durable black coating is applied to the blade. The blade thickness is an impressive 4.2 mm.
