KA-BAR Backing Plate Attachment System KA9941

Built for adaptability and hard use, the KA-BAR Backing Plate Attachment System gives you a reliable way to expand how you carry your trusted fixed blades. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this system is purpose-built to integrate seamlessly with select KA-BAR sheaths, adding versatility without unnecessary bulk or complication. Whether you’re setting up a duty rig, refining a field carry, or upgrading a range or workshop setup, this backing plate delivers dependable performance in a compact, no-nonsense package.

The backbone of the system is a rugged Celcon® body that offers excellent strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to impact and wear. It’s engineered to hold up under demanding conditions while maintaining a slim profile that won’t snag or interfere with movement. Paired with a durable Hypalon® strap, the system provides flexible yet secure retention that stands up to moisture, abrasion, and repeated use. A retaining cord adds an extra layer of security, helping keep your knife firmly in place when conditions get rough.

Installation is straightforward and practical. The Backing Plate Attachment System mounts directly to existing sheaths using included Type 2 cross/flat combination screws and threaded barrel screws, all sized for a precise, secure fit. Once attached, it opens up an additional carry option without requiring permanent modification to your sheath. At just 0.25 pounds, it adds functionality without weighing you down, making it an easy upgrade for users who value efficiency and modularity.

Sized at 9 inches long, 2.75 inches wide, and 0.875 inches deep, the backing plate is compact enough to stay out of the way while still offering solid support. It’s specifically designed to work with the KA-BAR 1310 Slabby and the George Cool Name Knife Series, with compatibility extending to future KA-BAR releases. Packaged simply in a poly bag, this attachment system focuses on function over flash, just as you’d expect from KA-BAR.

If you rely on your gear and expect it to work as hard as you do, the KA-BAR Backing Plate Attachment System is a smart, durable addition that enhances carry options while staying true to KA-BAR’s proven design philosophy. Upgrade your carry with the rugged, USA-made KA-BAR Backing Plate Attachment System—built tough, modular, and ready for hard use, available at SMKW.
