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

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.SB-54DEBKLTBK-CP -

* Checked and certified by our in-house laboratoryROK, part of the SOLID knife family, is made from a single piece of aluminum or titanium and introduces two major innovations. The first is the new H.WAYL System, a LionSteel patent that allows the clip to disappear inside the handle when the knife is in use, reappearing only when needed. The second is the integration of NFC technology into the packaging, which allows the user to immediately access all product information—from maintenance and the production process to content dedicated to the LionSteel brand—simply by placing their smartphone close to the packaging.
As with the TRE model, the user can remove the flipper to obtain a more traditional, two-handed blade opening. The ROK also retains the proven Rotoblock safety system and a steel tip at the end of the blade lock bar, which helps prevent breakage or wear due to contact with the blade itself.
