KA-BAR has built a legendary reputation for producing high-quality military, hunting, sporting, all-purpose utility and outdoor survival knives, with their most famous knife being the Ka-Bar. In the early days of World War II, KA-BAR collaborated with the Marine Quartermaster Department to create the ideal fighting and utility knife for the Marines. The knife's success was so significant that the name "Kabar" became synonymous with this knife pattern, no matter the manufacturer. The USMC KA-BAR was not only adopted by the Marines, but also by the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Underwater Demolition Teams. Even decades after World War II, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in the Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm and the Iraqi Freedom conflicts. Today, KA-BAR continues to uphold its legacy with rigorous product testing, uncompromising quality control and the use of cutting-edge technology in their manufacturing facilities. KA-BAR knives are built to last and perform, continuing to serve military personnel, outdoors enthusiasts and collectors alike.
