Knives, collection knife, tactical knives, outdoor knives, pocket knives and tools

On December 9, 1942, during the Second World War, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps in the hope of it becoming the standard weapon. In collaboration with the Marine Supply Department, the project was revised and the production of an improved combat and utility knife began.

During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives became so renowned for their quality and abundance that "KABAR" became the common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Teams. Years later, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2019, KA-Bar joined forces with Spartan Blades to establish Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt aimed to create a "KA-BAR" with enhanced strength, robustness, and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel with the desired qualities.

CPM MagnaCut® is a sintered high-carbon steel produced by Crucible Industries and specially designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment, and PVD coatings.

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.

Destinazione d'uso: Tattico/Militare

Manicatura: anelli di cuoio

From KA-BAR regarding the special engraved logo: The engraved logo features the historical "The Union" logo from the early 1900s, a bear, and the years marking 120 years - 1898 and 2018.
The significance of the bear is in the KA-BAR name itself. An Alaskan hunter was attacked by a Kodiak bear, but successfully defended himself using his Union Cutlery knife. The hunter was so thankful that he sent a letter describing the ordeal with "K a Bar" (Kill a Bear) as well as sending in the bear fur. The officers of Union Cutlery decided to adopt KA-BAR as a trademark in 1924.
