Details

The Kabar 1214 USMC fighting knife has over 100 years of tradition behind its functional design. This version has been upgraded with a more modern and durable handle material and Glass-Filled Nylon Sheath offering the same classic design with enhanced performance for the forest or the battlefield.

Brand new directly from Ka-Bar Knives.

Blade: Black coated 1095 Cro-Van high carbon tool steel has been saber ground for toughness. A straight spine terminates in a clip point delivering enhanced piercing capabilities while retaining a high level of toughness. The black coating provides needed corrosion resistance while the 1095 can be easily sharpened to a razor like edge. A partially serrated section of the blade makes easy work of rope and other fibrous materials.

Handle: The tang of the blade is wrapped in a high traction Black Kraton G handle that is nearly indestructible and all but impervious to the elements. A full steel guard offers additional protection from slipping onto the blade while a hefty steel pommel makes the knife very well-balanced and provides an improvised hammer tool in a pinch.

Sheath: This knife comes with a rugged Glass-filled Nylon Sheath with MOLLE compatible nylon backing for multiple secure carry options.

1095 High Carbon Tool Steel: Highly popular, simple carbon steel. Used extensively by both production and custom knife makers. Low abrasive wear due to low carbide content but very tough and easy to sharpen. Not corrosion resistant and will rust without proper care.
