Designed by custom knifemaker and designer Jesse Jarosz. The Jarosz Camp Turok is part of a series of knives that Ka-Bar released under the Ka-Bar/Jarosz banner. The Jarosz family has a long and proud tradition of working with their hands to produce quality products, from woodworking to general carpentry. Jesse used his family's knowledge, work ethic and access to equipment from a young age to build the skills that lead to the creation of Jarosz Knives.
Because customers asked for a larger version of the popular Ka-Bar Jarosz Turok, Jesse Turok designed and Ka-Bar has built the Jarosz Camp Turok, measuring a full 1-1⁄2" longer. The 8" drop point blade is 1095 Cro-Van steel at 56-58 Rc. with a black powder coat. The molded handle scales are Ultramid® in a chocolate brown color. Measures 13" overall. A hole in the tang at the butt allows for a lanyard. Includes a black Celcon® sheath. Weighs 12.8 oz. Suggested retail is $171.27. Knife made in the U.S.A. Sheath 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.
