KA-BAR U.S.M.C. Utility Knife
The KA-BAR U.S.M.C. Utility Knife stands among the most respected military knives ever produced. Originally developed for the United States Marine Corps during World War II, it still sets the standard for strength, reliability, and timeless design. Moreover, the 7-inch clip point blade uses tough 1095 Cro-Van steel, delivering excellent edge retention while remaining easy to sharpen. Meanwhile, the black protective coating reduces glare and helps resist corrosion for lasting performance.
