This Ka-Bar 1217, made in 1991, is a commemorative knife designed to mark the 50th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This surprise attack, conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy, aimed to destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet and prevent a rapid response to Japanese expansion. The raid claimed the lives of about 2,400 people, including military personnel and civilians, and led the United States to enter World War II, declaring war on Japan the following day.

The Ka-Bar 1217, with its high-carbon steel blade and leather ring handle, has the same design as the legendary Ka-Bar knife used by U.S. soldiers during the conflict. The blade is engraved with the 50th anniversary logo and a symbolic image of Pearl Harbor, making the knife a collector's item and a tribute to the historical memory of the event. The Ka-Bar 1217 is not just a tool but a mark of honor and respect for the victims of the attack and the heroes who contributed to the victory of the United States during World War II.

Unlike the standard models, here we have engraving from the right side of the blade, hand-molded leather washers with an aged look, and even the scabbard is made like the 1940s models, with darker leather and steel staple points in addition to the traditional contrasting cream-colored stitching.

At 2:38 in the morning on the night between January 16 and 17, 1991, just 18 hours and 38 minutes after the expiration of the ultimatum set by the United Nations, Operation "Desert Storm," the largest allied military action since 1945, began.

In what would become the first conflict in history to be broadcast live on television, 90,000 tons of bombs would be dropped, marking a new point of no return for what was considered acceptable by global public opinion. The imagery that war helped create would lay the groundwork for the long series of Western military interventions in the Middle East in the years that followed.

For almost a decade, Cold Steel® offered a wicked-looking little boot knife called the Culloden®. It was based on the traditional Scottish 'black knife' or 'Skean Dhu' as it is more commonly called in Gaelic, the ancient language of Scotland.

The Caledonian Edge™ features a number of modern variations and refinements over its predecessor. The blade is made of a virtually unbreakable San Mai III® construction and, like the original Skean Dhu, features a thin, sharp point, as sharp as the proverbial needle. 

The traditional tang seen on the Skean Dhu of yesteryear has been retained and provides an aggressive, non-slip platform for the thumb and forefinger, allowing for better control when using the blade to cut or pierce.

The handle of the Caledonian Edge™ has a profile that hugs the palm of the hand and a relatively thin cross-section that enhances its qualities. It is flat enough not to roll or twist in the palm of the hand, yet comfortable enough to accommodate a wide range of grip styles. A perfect blend of strength and beauty, it features a mirror-polished black Micarta superstructure and titanium bolsters.ne handed opening.

Il Red Spacer KA-BAR è probabilmente il coltello KA-BAR più collezionabile realizzato durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Il distintivo distanziatore rosso presente sotto la guardia ha attirato l'attenzione dei collezionisti per decenni. Sebbene gli originali siano rari e costosi, il laboratorio State & Union di KA-BAR - che si occupa delle realizzazioni custom - ha realizzato un piccolo lotto di questo iconico coltello.

Le rondelle in pelle sono modellate a mano per creare un aspetto invecchiato. Il fondello e la guardia sono lavorate artigianalmente per replicare le forme e le dimensioni dell'originale.

Ogni distanziatore rosso è fatto a mano per essere leggermente più lungo dell'attuale distanziatore utilizzato sui coltelli da combattimento/utilità KA-BAR. La lama viene sabbiata, quindi trattata a freddo.

Il fodero subisce un processo di invecchiamento per scurire la pelle e far corrispondere il colore del fodero originale.

We know that many of our customers are increasingly concerned about the weight and bulk of their EDC (every day carry) knife as space in their pockets is always very limited. That's why we focused on making a feather-light (90g.) and ultra-thin (8.8 mm thick) knife that can be carried 24/7 while still leaving pocket space for other essential accessories.

What we did not do, however, in our attempt to create a super EDC knife was to skimp on workmanship and materials. That's why all the blades in the Air Lite series feature impeccable workmanship and Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel, famous for its ability to hold an edge; the handles, on the other hand, are laser-cut from genuine G-10.

Even the locking mechanism is unbeatable-there's nothing better than our celebrated Tri-Ad Lock when it comes to finger protection. With an affordable price, amazing sharpness, and tremendous comfort and convenience in use, the Air Lite is truly unbeatable!

The Cold Steel SRK (Survival Rescue Knife) has been a Cold Steel pride for over 25 years. Favorite knife for many military operators, still supplied to Navy SEALs today during BUDS training.

It is therefore not surprising that Cold Steel, when commissioned in-house designer Andrew Demko to develop a high-end tactical folding knife for military applications, was inspired by the legendary SRK!

The SR1's sturdy heavy-duty blade is made from US 5mm premium CPM-S35VN sintered steel

A good blade needs a good grip, so this model of the SR1 is made from G10.

For added reliability and safety, Cold Steel has equipped the SR1 with the famous Tri-Ad locking mechanism - proven time and again to be perfect for heavy-duty use.
