Ka-Bar Knife 1219 - ARMY The Legend - Serrated
Certainly the world's most famous knife. It was developed for the US Army more than 60 years ago during World War II.
To this day, in a little-changed version, it performs very well in both civilian and military applications. It has earned the name of a cult knife thanks to its great versatility of applications and perfectly selected materials.
The knife is made from a single piece of high-quality Cro-Van 1095 steel. The partially serrated blade with the characteristic Clip Point shape with a shallow rim and the embossed letters "U.S. ARMY" has been coated with a black, anti-reflective coating.
The handle is made of pressure-pressed pieces of buffalo leather. A steel hilt protects the hand from slipping on the blade.
The set includes a scabbard made of brown buffalo leather.
