Ka-Bar D2 Extreme Utility Knife Eagle Sheath 1281 military knife
```Knife with a total length of 302 mm and a blade length of 178 mm with a Clip-Point profile made of D2 tool steel. The model features a partially serrated edge. The blade is coated with a black matte finish that protects against corrosion and reduces glare. The handle scales are made of Kraton G material in black. The set includes a sheath made of durable Cordura material in black.```
```D2 tool steel```
```The blade is made of D2 steel, known for its very high wear resistance and prolonged edge retention. It is characterized by a high carbon and chromium content, which results in high wear resistance. A special hardening process has allowed for achieving a blade hardness of 59-60 HRC, which further increases its wear resistance.```
```blade with a Clip-Point profile, partially serrated edge```
```Partially serrated blade with a length of 178 mm and thickness of 4.4 mm and a Clip-Point profile, designed for precise work. Such a profile is particularly effective in outdoor and EDC applications, where a combination of high penetration capability and optimal edge control is required. The blade design is enhanced with a shallow fuller, which improves its strength while giving it a distinctive appearance.```
```The model uses a flat grind, providing increased resistance to damage while maintaining good cutting properties. The surface of the blade is covered with a black, matte coating that eliminates light reflections and protects the steel from external factors.```
```Handle scales made of Kraton G material```
```The handle is made of thermoplastic Kraton G material, which is characterized by high abrasion resistance and anti-slip properties. As a result, the knife securely fits in the hand even in challenging conditions such as moisture or dirt. User safety is enhanced by a steel cross guard, which effectively prevents accidental hand slippage onto the edge.```
```Eagle Sheath holster```
```The set includes a practical tactical Eagle Sheath holster, sewn from durable Cordura. Its interior is further reinforced with a kydex insert, ensuring stable and safe knife storage. The sheath is fastened with two solid snaps and equipped with a functional pocket for a sharpening stone, enabling quick edge sharpening in the field.```

Militaria.pl is a premium dealer of Ka-Bar.
Ka-Bar is a brand whose history dates back to the late 19th century, and which gained real fame during World War II, when the Fighting Utility model was officially adopted by the US Marine Corps. The durable and versatile knife quickly became legendary, proving itself both in combat and in the daily tasks of soldiers. The name Ka-Bar itself comes from the 1920s, when a trapper described in a letter how he managed to “kill a bear” with a Union Cutlery knife. In 1952, wanting to emphasize the power of this symbol, the company officially changed its name to Ka-Bar Knives Inc., and its products are still considered a model of reliability today. An important chapter in the brand's history is also its collaboration with Ethan Becker, which resulted in the Becker series, highly valued by users, combining practical solutions with a modern approach to knife design.

Cordura
Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
D2
D2 is a high-carbon tool steel classified as semi-stainless, characterized by high wear resistance and the ability to maintain a thin, durable edge. It achieves a hardness of 57-62 HRC, which ensures long-lasting sharpness even with intensive use. Its chemical composition is a precisely selected combination of elements: carbon (1.4-1.6%), chromium (11-13%), molybdenum (up to 0.8%), vanadium (up to 1%), manganese (up to 1%), and silicon (up to 1%). The high carbon and chromium content ensures hardness and wear resistance, while molybdenum and vanadium improve the strength and durability of the cutting edge. Although D2 steel is not completely stainless, its corrosion resistance is sufficient to meet the requirements of most conditions of use. It is widely used in the production of mid-range and high-end knives, including handmade knives and cutting tools.
Kydex
Kydex is a thermoplastic, durable material commonly used in the production of knife sheaths. It is resistant to impact, scratches, and changing weather conditions, and has very low moisture absorption. The sheaths are molded directly onto the knife, which guarantees a perfect fit, high durability, and complete safety—the blade remains securely in place even during dynamic movements. Due to its durability and customization options, Kydex has gained popularity in the tactical and survival industries. Sheaths are often equipped with additional mounting holes with metal eyelets, which increase their durability and allow for easy attachment of buckles, clips, or loops to a belt or harness.
Kraton
Kraton is a modern synthetic elastomer used mainly in the production of knife handles. It combines the properties of rubber and plastic, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip even in wet conditions. This material absorbs vibrations and impacts well, which increases comfort during prolonged use. Compared to traditional rubber, Kraton is more resistant to abrasion, chemicals, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations.
