SHOP CASE KNIVESThe KA-BAR Vietnam War USMC Fighting Knife is a tribute to the strength, sacrifice, and unbreakable will of those who served during one of the most challenging conflicts in American military history. Built on the legendary KA-BAR platform, this knife is more than just a collector’s piece—it’s a battle-proven design trusted by generations of Marines and service members. With historical roots and modern durability, it honors the past while being fully capable in the field.
At its core is a 7-inch clip point blade made from 1095 carbon steel, a high-carbon alloy known for its toughness and edge-holding ability under extreme use. The blade features a black epoxy powder coating that offers corrosion resistance while minimizing reflection. Laser-engraved with a Vietnam War honorific, it pays homage to those who carried similar blades through the jungles and firefights of Southeast Asia.
The full-tang construction ensures strength and reliability, and the classic stacked leather handle provides a firm, comfortable grip that feels right in the hand. The handle is framed by a black-coated carbon steel guard and pommel, delivering protection and balance without adding unnecessary bulk. Whether you're displaying it in a case or putting it to work, the fit and finish meet the high standards KA-BAR is known for.
At 12 inches overall and weighing 11.2 ounces, the Vietnam War USMC Fighting Knife has the size, weight, and balance to handle real-world tasks just as its predecessors did. It comes housed in a traditional brown leather sheath with a belt loop for secure carry or presentation, built tough enough to match the knife it holds. Order yours today from SMKW!
