A model that combines high-quality materials, functional design, and a surprising integration of multi-purpose tools directly into the knife’s frame.

    * Self-adjusting hex wrench (1/2“ to 13/64”)
    * Integrated wire cutter capable of cutting wire up to 12-gauge
    * Cable cutter / flex-cuff cutter, also useful in military or law enforcement contexts

    The Quebec series by Pohl Force is an iconic mission knife that remained at the top of the wish list of founder and designer Dietmar Pohl for several decades. In 2014, Pohl Force received exclusive permission from the original manufacturer to reinterpret the base design.

    Originally developed as a Ground Forces Combat & General Purpose Weapon, this multi-purpose knife was designed for the United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. Although never officially adopted, it clearly proved its capabilities during the Vietnam War, especially in the hands of U.S. special forces. Nearly 70 years after its first design, the modern Pohl Force Quebec Two perfectly combines classic old-school styling with high-tech modern manufacturing.

    Designer Dietmar Pohl further revised the original concept, expanding the knife’s functional range. The blade of the Quebec Two is made from D2 tool steel instead of Sleipner, offering higher carbon and chromium content, significantly improving cutting performance and corrosion resistance. The blade has also been optimized with a cutting edge extended by 10 mm and an added false edge on the spine.

    The Pohl Force Prepper System is integrated into the handle, allowing survival items to be securely stored inside. A tool for opening the handle screws is included. The advanced Pohl Force sheath system significantly enhances usability. The highly sophisticated sheath, made from 2.5 mm thick Kydex with belt adapter and leg strap, ensures excellent carrying comfort and versatility.

    Overall length: 315 mm
    Blade length: 190 mm
    Blade thickness: 6 mm
    Weight: 382 g (558 g including sheath)
    Blade material: D2 steel
    Blade finish: Titanium nitride coating
    Handle material: G-10
    Handle thickness: 24 mm
    Sheath: 2.5 mm Kydex with removable Cordura belt attachments
    Included accessories: —

    Notes: Each knife is individually numbered and personally signed by Dietmar Pohl on the Kydex sheath.

    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.

    Intended Use: Tactical/Military

    Blade: 1095 56/58HRC carbon steel
    Handle: hand-molded leather rings with aged appearance
    Blade length: 180mm.
    Blade thickness: 4mm.
    Total length: 290mm.

    Weight: 305g.
    Sheath: leather, with contrasting stitching and steel staple points
    Notes: very rare 1991 commemorative edition for the 50th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor

    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.
