The original Ka-Bar Fighting/Utility Knife was designed to serve our troops during World War II and Ka-Bar continues to expand on this impressive design. The Short USMC Fighting/Utility Knife boasts excellent control for versatile use. It is constructed with easy to sharpen 1095 Cro-Van Steel and is an ideal choice for hiking, camping, hunting and fishing. KaBar has also provided a brown leather sheath for convenient carry. This sturdy piece of equipment is made in the USA and follows the legendary Ka-Bar Fighting/Utility Knife design. The lightweight, incredibly sharp Short USMC Knife is made just as well as the original at only 3/4 the size.
