SHOP CASE KNIVESThe KA-Bar Slabby is built for those who demand a fixed blade that’s as bold as it is capable. Measuring 12.11 inches overall, this knife combines serious cutting power with a clean, modern profile that’s unmistakably KA-Bar. At its core is a 6.86-inch clip point blade crafted from 1095 Cro-Van steel, a high-performance material known for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening in the field. Finished in a sleek black coating, the blade is protected against the elements while adding a low-profile, tactical aesthetic that suits any environment. At .18 inches thick, it offers impressive durability and strength, giving you the confidence to put it to work on the toughest jobs.
The hidden tang construction paired with a rugged black GFN handle makes the Slabby a true workhorse. Glass-filled nylon delivers a balance of lightweight handling and serious impact resistance, ensuring the handle won’t let you down when it counts. Its ergonomic shaping gives you a comfortable, secure grip, whether you’re tackling utility tasks, camp chores, or heavier cutting and chopping. At 17.6 ounces, this knife has enough weight to carry through stubborn material, yet it remains well balanced in the hand, so extended use feels natural and controlled.
Practicality extends to the sheath as well. The KA-Bar Slabby comes housed in a black Celcon sheath designed to keep the knife secure during transport while offering quick and easy access when you need it most. The sheath’s construction ensures durability, so whether it’s attached to your pack, belt, or gear, it can handle the same demanding environments the knife itself was made for. KA-Bar has a long-standing reputation for producing blades trusted by military, outdoorsmen, and collectors alike, and the Slabby fits perfectly into that lineage with its no-nonsense design and uncompromising build.
This fixed blade isn’t just for collectors, though it certainly has the kind of presence that draws attention. It’s a tool built to be used, ready for everything from hunting and camping to survival scenarios and utility work. The clip point blade shape gives you excellent piercing capability and precision control at the tip, while the broad belly of the blade ensures efficient slicing and cutting. Whether you’re dressing game, preparing firewood, or tackling a job that calls for a reliable blade, the Slabby is up to the challenge.
