The KA-BAR WARTHOG is built to be a reliable everyday carry folding knife with the kind of toughness and utility you’d expect from a trusted name in blades. Designed to strike the perfect balance between strength, function, and comfort, it’s a knife that works just as hard as you do. Whether you’re cutting rope, breaking down boxes, or keeping a versatile tool on hand for outdoor adventures, this folder is ready to step up.
At the heart of the WARTHOG is a 3.75-inch clip point blade crafted from D2 tool steel. Known for its excellent hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance, D2 ensures that this knife stays sharp even through demanding tasks. The black finish not only adds a sleek, low-profile look but also helps reduce glare and provides extra protection against the elements. With a blade thickness of .15 inches, you get a sturdy profile that’s tough enough for hard use while still fine enough for precision cutting.
Opening the knife is quick and simple thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs, giving both right- and left-handed users smooth, confident blade deployment. Once open, the secure linerlock keeps the blade firmly in place, so you can work with confidence knowing it won’t fold on you unexpectedly. This makes the WARTHOG dependable whether you’re using it daily on the job or out in the field.
The handle is made from black GRN, a durable glass-reinforced nylon that combines lightweight construction with serious strength. The textured surface gives you a comfortable, slip-resistant grip, making it just as practical in wet or cold conditions as it is in everyday environments. Measuring 5 inches closed and 8.75 inches overall, it’s a knife that offers impressive cutting power without being overly bulky in your pocket.
Carrying options are just as versatile as the knife itself. The WARTHOG features a reversible tip-up pocket clip, allowing you to set it up the way you prefer. A lanyard slot provides another carry method, giving you quick access whenever you need it. Weighing only 4 ounces, it won’t weigh you down, making it an excellent choice for those who want performance without sacrificing portability.
As a manual folder, the KA-BAR WARTHOG keeps things straightforward and dependable. It’s designed to be a go-to knife you’ll reach for again and again, with features that make it just as effective for daily carry as it is for specialized tasks. The combination of a tough D2 blade, strong locking system, and ergonomic handle ensures it’s more than capable of handling whatever comes your way.
If you’re looking for a knife that blends practical function, durable construction, and everyday reliability, the WARTHOG delivers all that and more. Available from the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, it’s backed by the best online knife store where selection and service meet quality. The KA-BAR WARTHOG isn’t just another folder—it’s a trusted tool built for those who demand performance day in and day out.
