short KaBar by Legacy Reviewer, January 20, 2013
It would have been nice to have a leg lanyard included. Without it the sheath is a little unstable and it is difficult to remove the knife. One can be fashioned to solve this but I believe it should be included. Pros: good quality American made! nice...

Ka-Bar Short by None used, October 30, 2019
This knife is smaller than the famous K-Bar of WWII fame. It’s a handy sized for everyday use in the field. Available with a heavy leather scabbard and a tactical kydex/plastic scabbard. I opted for the plastic scabbard. Users preference. My kni...

Outstanding knife. by dwbrum1, August 31, 2015
You can't go wrong with this knife. There is a reason KA-BAR are the knives the military chose. Quality. It's the best. Outstanding blade and a comfortable handle. Price was reasonable for a genuine KA-BAR.

Product Info for KA-BAR Knives Shorty USMC Fixed Blade w/Leather Sheath

KA-BAR Short Fixed KA-BAR Knife is a smaller, more practical version of the classic KA-BAR knife introduced by the company way back in World War II. Though it is smaller, this KA-BAR knife retains the powerful clip point blade of its predecessor, forged into a partially serrated, 0.165" thick blade made from 1095 Cro-Van steel. KABAR Short Combo Edge KA-BAR Knife utilizes a comfortable handle made from Kraton G and shaped into an ergonomic, palm-hugging shape that will give you excellent control over the knife. KA-BAR Knives has outfitted this modern classic with a threatening black blade finish, plus a large powdered metal finger guard that will protect your hands during extended use of the knife. If you love the original KA-BAR but need something a bit more compact, get its shorter twin: the KA BAR Short Clip Point Fixed Blade KA-BAR Knife.image
