Short KA-BAR® is a combo blade knife, which you will appreciate during camping and outdoor stays.
This, originally a combat knife, is a great helper for staying in nature and survival activities. You can chop firewood with it, just as well use it to build a camp or prepare dinner.
KA-BAR 1257 Short is made of one piece of high quality carbon steel 1095 Cro-Van. It has a characteristic clip-point shape with anti-reflective coating. The blade has a serrated part, which is for good for cutting fibrous materials such as straps, ropes or parts of vegetation.
The anatomically shaped handle with an oval cross-section is made of thermoplastic polymer Kraton G. This material is characterized by high adhesion and resistance to different weather conditons. In the front part of the handle you will find a stainless steel finger guard.
The knife comes with a black leather sheath with a logo, which you can easily attach to a belt or hang it on a neck.
Legendary knives usually have a quality that surpasses other products. This also applies to KA-BAR knives. The company, founded in New York in 1897, originally produced mainly cutlery. A little later, they started producing hunting knives, which were still sold under the Union brand. At that time, a story began to float around the people about the trapper who killed a bear only with the brand's knife. And so the term Ka-bar was born, which is a corruption of the English "kill a bear".
