With Stacked Leather Handle

Released in 2007, The Marine Hunter is a reproduction of a knife offered by KA-BAR over 30 years ago and is a great addition to the classically styled line of stacked leather handled fixed blades.  The blade measures 5-7/8" and measures 1-1/8" at its widest point, and is made from tough DIN 1.4116 stainless steel at 55-57 Rc.  Finger grips on the stacked leather handle ensure a firm grip.  Brass guard, solid aluminum butt cap, and red/white/black spacers makes this a very good-looking knife. Measures 10-3/4" overall and weighs 9.9 oz.  Leather sheath included.  Knife made in Taiwan, sheath made in Mexico.  Suggested retail $119.75.

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.
