In late 2002, Ka-Bar introduced the first Dozier lightweight folder, the Spear Point Hunter. Since then there have been several variations of blade styles introduced. For 2009, they have stuck with the spear point blade with thumb-stud version and added a black coating to the blade and 3 different handle colors: blaze orange, foliage green and coyote brown.
The 3" hollow ground blade is AUS-8 at 56-58 Rc. fitted into a 4-1/4" handle of Zytel® with a Lockback design that is secure and positive. The clip and thumb stud are both reversible so the knife is truly ambidextrous. Weighs 2.3 oz. Suggested retail $34.16. Made in Taiwan.

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.
