Step into history with the legendary KA-BAR 1217, the original fixed-blade combat knife designed to serve United States Marines during World War II. Over eight decades later, it remains the gold standard for tactical personnel, survivalists, outdoor enthusiasts, and knife collectors worldwide.

Forged from high-carbon steel and built for rugged dependability, this isn't just a knife—it’s a piece of living military history ready for the toughest real-world demands.

Key Features & Highlights
  • Time-Tested Steel: Features a 7-inch straight-edge clip-point blade crafted from 1095 Cro-Van high-carbon steel. Famous for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening in the field.

  • Non-Reflective Finish: Coated in a durable black epoxy powder finish for superior corrosion resistance and tactical low visibility.

  • Iconic Leather Grip: Stacked, polished leather washers form the classic oval handle, providing a comfortable, slip-resistant grip that molds naturally to your hand over time.

  • Maximum Protection: Fitted with a robust steel butt cap (pommel) for light hammering/pounding and a heavy-duty steel guard to keep your hand safely off the blade.

  • Authentic USMC Sheath: Includes a high-grade, brown leather sheath embossed with the iconic USMC logo and Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem.
