The KA-BAR USMC Fixed Fighting Knife stands as a true American icon—an enduring symbol of service, strength, and craftsmanship. Designed to serve our troops during World War II, this legendary blade has stood the test of time, continuing to prove itself over 70 years later on battlefields, in the field, and in the hands of collectors and outdoor adventurers alike. It’s more than a knife—it’s a piece of history forged for action.
At the heart of the KA-BAR USMC is a 7-inch 1095 Cro-Van steel clip point blade, known for its toughness, excellent edge retention, and ease of maintenance. This high-carbon steel is a proven performer in combat and survival conditions, capable of withstanding extreme use without compromise. The black finish not only gives it a sleek, tactical look but also offers added resistance to wear and corrosion. With a plain edge that’s razor-sharp right out of the box, this blade is built for precision cutting, slashing, and piercing—everything you’d expect from a true fighting knife.
This full tang knife is as durable as they come, delivering reliable strength from tip to pommel. The handle is crafted from stacked brown leather with black spacers, giving it that unmistakable traditional look while offering a firm, comfortable grip. It’s a time-tested design that balances beautifully in hand, allowing for control and confidence in any situation. The black carbon steel guard and pommel provide added security and stability, rounding out the knife’s battle-ready construction.
Measuring 11.87 inches overall and weighing in at 11.2 ounces, the KA-BAR USMC offers a solid, authoritative feel without being overly heavy. The blade’s .16-inch thickness gives it just the right amount of heft for chopping and hard use, while still being nimble enough for detailed tasks. Whether you’re on duty, out in the wild, or honoring tradition, this knife is always up to the task.
Every KA-BAR USMC comes with a high-quality leather sheath, complete with a belt loop for convenient carry. While the sheath is made in Mexico, it’s built to last and complements the knife’s timeless military design with rugged, functional style. The USMC tang stamp adds an authentic finishing touch, proudly marking its heritage and purpose.
This knife is made in the USA, carrying forward the same commitment to quality and service that made it a trusted companion for generations of Marines. It’s not just made for collectors—it’s made for those who still put their gear to the test, day in and day out.
