Description
KA-BAR Mark I – USN Stamped | 5.125″ Black Blade | Kraton G Handle
A Legendary WWII Classic, Reimagined for Today.
The KA-BAR Mark I is a modernized revival of the iconic knife originally issued to the U.S. Navy during World War II. Designed for reliability and durability in the field, this updated version retains the timeless oval handle shape and clip point blade, while incorporating rugged modern materials.
The 5.125″ 1095 Cro-Van steel blade is finished with a non-reflective black epoxy powder coating, offering superior resistance to wear and corrosion. The blade is flat ground for effective slicing performance, and stamped with “USN” to honour its naval heritage.
A Kraton G® handle provides a slip-resistant, weatherproof grip that’s nearly impervious to sweat, chemicals, and moisture. The knife also includes a 12GA carbon steel guard and butt cap, delivering solid hand protection and balance.
Includes a MOLLE-compatible hard plastic sheath, offering secure and versatile carry in modern loadouts.
