KA-BAR USN Navy Fighting Knife – A Blade Forged in Legacy

Born from the crucible of World War II, the KA-BAR USN Navy Fighting Knife was purpose-built in 1942 to meet the uncompromising demands of the United States Navy, Seabees, and special operations forces. As American forces deployed across the Pacific, the need arose for a fixed blade that could withstand jungle warfare, harsh maritime climates, and close-quarters combat. The KA-BAR answered that call with an edge that delivered both reliability and lethality.

This knife quickly distinguished itself as a superior alternative to earlier trench knives. With a 7-inch clip-point blade crafted from 1095 Cro-Van high-carbon steel, it offers razor-sharp cutting performance, excellent edge retention, and impressive durability in the field. The black epoxy powder-coated finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance, giving the blade the rugged edge needed to thrive in salt air, jungle humidity, and combat conditions alike.

Designed for real-world use, the full-tang construction of the KA-BAR USN Navy Fighting Knife adds unparalleled strength and stability. Its stacked leather handle provides a secure, time-tested grip, ensuring confident handling even in wet or stressful environments. The black-coated steel guard and pommel balance the knife perfectly, adding to its toughness and overall feel.

This fighting knife measures 11.875 inches overall and weighs 10.4 ounces, offering a powerful yet nimble profile ideal for combat or survival applications. Every detail echoes KA-BAR’s commitment to military-grade quality, from the USN tang stamp to the robust leather sheath adorned with the official U.S. Navy insignia.

Whether you're a collector of military memorabilia, an outdoorsman in need of a dependable sidearm, or simply someone who appreciates time-honored craftsmanship, the KA-BAR USN Navy Fighting Knife delivers performance steeped in American military tradition. Proudly made in the USA, it remains a trusted tool for those who demand excellence in the field.
