Brands You Trust: Ka-bar Knives

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 only have 1 or 2 K-Bars including a Army compat knife fron the Man Era. But this is a step above the normal K=Bars seen mostly out and about. Large but well designed overall.

David G. from Los Angeles, CA

Good handle, excellent blade, nice finish, and heavy. Whats not to love?

Chip T. from Houston, TX

I have a new favorite Bowie. When I pick a Bowie to carry in the field, this is the one I grab. I own over a dozen Bowie style knives, so I do have a choice!

Frank W. from Erie, PA

This is a good, solid, and strong knife. Even though it's a Bowie, it's not too big to carry or use. I bought it for primitive camping in the mountains and it's a perfect fit.
