  5. Spartan Blades - Spartan-Ka-Bar Knife - FDE MagnaCut & Leather - SB54DEBKLTBK - PRIVATE COLLECTION - Knife

    Marks on blade: -
    Marks on handle: light scratch on the pommel

    On December 9, 1942, during World War II, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps hoping it would become the standard-issue weapon. In cooperation with the Marine Quartermaster Department, the design was revised and production of an improved fighting and utility knife began.

    During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives became so recognized for quality and widespread use that “KABAR” became a common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Underwater Demolition Teams. In later years, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan.

    In 2019, KA-BAR joined Spartan Blades to form Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt wanted a “KA-BAR” with improved strength, durability and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel as meeting these requirements.

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

    Intended use: Tactical / Military
    Production type: Industrial
    Country of manufacture: USA
    Blade: CPM MagnaCut steel 61/63HRC
    Blade finish: ZrN Flat Dark Earth
    Handle: Kraton G with 301 stainless steel guard and tungsten DLC treatment
    Blade length: 178mm
    Blade thickness: 4.2mm

    Sheath: black leather
    Packaging: -
    Notes: the Flat Dark Earth (FDE) coated blade, when inserted into and removed from the leather sheath, may show streaks or marks due to the dye used for the sheath. The blade can be cleaned with petroleum or acetone, re-oiled (for example with WD40 or light mechanical oil) and dried with a clean cloth to restore the original coating finish.
