KA-BAR Fighting Fixed Blade Knife 7in Plain Black Clip Point KA1211

Few knives are as iconic, battle-proven, and instantly recognizable as the KA-BAR Fighting Knife. Originally designed for the United States Marine Corps during World War II, this fixed blade legend has stood the test of time, evolving to meet modern demands while preserving its unmistakable silhouette and performance heritage. Built tough, built to last, and built in the USA, this version of the KA-BAR Fighting Knife is a no-nonsense tool made for serious use in the field or on duty.

The 7-inch clip point blade is crafted from 1095 Cro-Van steel, a high-carbon alloy known for its strength, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. It’s a proven performer, whether you’re slicing, piercing, or chopping. Finished with a black epoxy powder coat, the blade resists corrosion and glare while offering a sleek, tactical look. The clip point design gives it both reach and precision, making it highly effective for both combat and utility tasks.

With a blade thickness of .15 inches and an overall length of 11.75 inches, this knife offers a commanding presence without feeling bulky. At 11.2 ounces, it carries solidly in the hand, giving you the weight and control you need to handle tough jobs with confidence. It’s built with a full tang for maximum strength and durability, capable of taking on demanding environments without compromise.

The handle is constructed from black Kraton G, a modern synthetic rubber known for its resilience and sure grip. It’s designed to offer comfort during extended use, with deep grooves and a contoured shape that locks into your palm. Wet hands, gloves, cold weather—none of it throws this handle off. It’s made to give you control and comfort, no matter the conditions.

This KA-BAR comes with a black leather sheath featuring a belt loop for secure and convenient carry. The sheath is as rugged as the knife it holds, crafted to protect the blade while keeping it easily accessible. It pairs well with the classic design of the knife, offering a nod to its military roots with durable materials built to last.

Proudly made in the USA, the KA-BAR Fighting Knife represents a legacy of American craftsmanship and battlefield reliability. Whether you’re a servicemember, outdoor enthusiast, or collector, it’s a knife that delivers on its promises every time you draw it.
