KA-BAR, or more formally KA-BAR Knives, Inc., has built its reputation on high-quality military, hunting, sporting, utility, and outdoor survival knives. The KA-BAR 250th USA Commemorative Fixed Blade continues that tradition while honoring a major milestone in American history. Based on the iconic KA-BAR Utility Knife, this commemorative model combines a time-tested design with special detailing that makes it an excellent choice for collectors, outdoorsmen, and anyone who appreciates American-made knife craftsmanship.
At the heart of this commemorative knife is a 7-inch clip point blade made from 1095 Cro-Van steel. This proven steel offers the toughness and dependable cutting performance expected from a hard-working fixed blade. The 0.165-inch-thick blade features a flat grind and a 20-degree-per-side edge angle, giving it a practical cutting profile suited for a variety of outdoor and utility tasks. Heat treated to 56-58 HRC, the blade is built to handle serious use while maintaining the classic KA-BAR profile.
The blade also features a special 250th USA commemorative engraving, giving this traditional design a distinctive connection to the 250th anniversary of America. The KA-BAR/OLEAN NY tang stamp on the mark side adds another touch of heritage, while the blank pile side keeps the presentation clean and traditional.
The brown stacked leather handle completes the unmistakable KA-BAR look. Measuring 4.88 inches long, the handle provides a comfortable, secure grip while giving the knife the classic appearance collectors have come to expect from the legendary KA-BAR Utility Knife. Its traditional leather construction pairs naturally with the blade and guard for a rugged, time-tested aesthetic.
Measuring 11.875 inches overall, this substantial fixed blade has a 1.188-inch blade width and weighs 0.65 pound without the sheath. The included leather sheath adds convenient carry and complements the knife's traditional appearance. With the knife and sheath together weighing approximately 0.9 pound, it's a substantial yet practical package.
The knife is made in the USA using German steel, while the leather sheath is made in Mexico. Whether it's added to a KA-BAR collection, displayed as a commemorative piece, or carried for outdoor utility, the 250th USA Commemorative brings together KA-BAR's recognizable design, traditional materials, and a meaningful anniversary tribute.
Honor a proud milestone and celebrate 250 years of America with a legendary KA-BAR, available at SMKW.
