Making a quality KA-BAR product requires the talent of experienced craftspeople performing dozens of processes with precision and skill. Each knife undergoes specific manufacturing processes to ensure corrosion resistance, strength, edge holding ability, and an out-of-the-box razor sharp cutting edge.

Soon after its introduction in the mid-1920's, the KA-BAR trademark became widely known and respected. There have been many versions of how the KA-BAR name came to be, but all evidence points to a letter received from a fur trapper. This particular fur trapper's testimonial turned out to be the most significant ever received by the company.

He wrote, in very rough English, that his gun had jammed and that he had therefore relied on his knife to kill a wounded bear that was attacking him. In thanking the company for their quality product the trapper described using his knife to kill the bear. All that was legible of his scrawled writing was "k a bar". The company was so honored by this testimonial that they adopted this phrase and used it as their trademark, KA-BAR.

I love your product!

For the money this is an excellent knife for general utility purposes and self defense.I like the 1085 stainless steel with black coating the blade is made from. It takes and holds an edge easily and won't let you down when you need it the most. Sure,there are plenty of cheap Chinese knock-offs around,but you get what you pay for. It's all junk,stay away from them.

The perfect carry knife! Not too big, but not too small either. Comes complete with a high quality sheath that is sure to stand up to any weather conditions you carry it in. As for the knife, it can be put through hell and back. As a matter of fact KnifeTests.com gave it a 4 star rating in their destruction test and it was actually the first knife they ever tested. In short, you can't go wrong with KA-BAR and that's why I never leave home without it.
