KA-BAR Short Serrated Fighting/Utility Knife

The Brown handle on the Short KA-BAR® USA is made from leather. The leather is a durable natural material that has provided years of service on military issued KA-BAR knives.

KA-BAR’s famous oval-shaped leather handle construction is accomplished by compressing leather washers on to the tang, shaping and coloring them, and then fastening them on with a pinned-on butt cap.

The butt cap or pommel is attached to the handle of a knife with a steel pin. The pin is inserted into the butt cap, driven part way through the tang, then ground off and painted.

The Fixed Blade on the Short KA-BAR® USA is made from 1095 CRO-VAN Steel and features a Flat grind. 1095 CRO-VAN steel is easy to sharpen, plain carbon steel used in knife making. Proven to be one of the most popular steels used in KA-BAR Knives. With a Rockwell hardness rating of 56-58, this Clip Point shaped blade is 5.25 inches long and is stamped with USA.
