Ka-Bar Mini Folder
Item #: KA4072ZG
$21.95
In late 2002, Ka-Bar introduced the first Dozier lightweight folder. That was the Spear Point Hunter which is still being produced. Since then they have offered several different blade styles and handle colors. None of those variations have garnered as much conversation as their introduction of Dozier designs with Zombie Green handles. They have chosen 3 of the most popular models and added the poison green handle from their ZK (Zombie Killer) line of knives. The "radioactive" green textured GFN-PA66 handle scales provide a lightweight, ultra secure grip for added control and the impetus for a lot of discussion. Each blade is AUS-8 stainless at 56-58 Rc. The knives are all lockbacks and each ships with a reversible/removable pocket clip. Made in Taiwan.
The mini version has a 2-3/8" narrow drop point blade. Measures 3-3/8" closed and weighs 1.2 oz. Plain edge only. Suggested retail $29.11.

KA-BAR
Soon after its introduction in the mid-1920's, the KA-BAR trademark became widely known and respected. There have been many versions of how the KA-BAR name came to be, but all evidence points to a letter received from a fur trapper. This particular fur trapper's testimonial turned out to be the most significant ever received by the company.
He wrote, in very rough English, that his gun had jammed and that he had therefore relied on his knife to kill a wounded bear that was attacking him. In thanking the company for their quality product the trapper described using his knife to kill the bear. All that was legible of his scrawled writing was "k a bar". The company was so honored by this testimonial that they adopted this phrase and used it as their trademark, KA-BAR.
KA-BAR is best known for their military production knives. They were chosen by the U.S. Marine Corp. as the primary knife producer for World War II. They also have traditional pocket knives, as well as many options for law enforcement.
