The KA-BAR Ek Model 4 Fixed Blade Knife is a modern take on a classic combat blade, built for durability and reliability in the field. Proudly made in the USA, this knife embodies the heritage of the John Ek Commando Knife Co. while incorporating upgraded materials and a battle-tested design.
At the core of the Model 4 is a 6.62-inch double-edge dagger blade crafted from 1095 Cro-Van steel, a high-carbon alloy known for its exceptional toughness and edge retention. The black Parkerized finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance while reducing glare, making it well-suited for tactical applications. Designed for strength and performance, the full-tang construction ensures maximum durability, allowing the knife to handle heavy-duty tasks with confidence.
The handle is built from black glass-filled nylon (GFN), an ultra-durable material that provides a secure grip in wet or dry conditions. The textured surface enhances control, while the traditional X-head fasteners pay homage to the original Ek knives used by military personnel for generations. A black-coated stainless-steel guard and hardware reinforce the knife’s rugged design, and a lanyard hole offers additional carry options.
For secure storage and quick deployment, the Ek Model 4 comes with a black Celcon sheath featuring a self-locking function and multiple tie-down points. The sheath’s retaining strap ensures the knife stays firmly in place, providing reliable retention whether attached to a belt, pack, or gear setup.
The KA-BAR Ek Model 4 is a purpose-built combat and utility knife, drawing from decades of military history while delivering modern performance. Its American craftsmanship, robust materials, and battle-proven design make it a trusted companion for professionals, collectors, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
