Interesting design and very good price. Feels quite good in the hand, and you can also wrap the handle with paracord to improve the grip. The blade profile is practical, although the blade is a bit thick.
A practical, medium-sized fixed blade knife designed to resemble a blade forged from a flat or ring spanner. Crafted from a single piece of stainless steel 425 High Carbon with an increased carbon content of 0.5%, which ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. The unique manufacturing process means each knife is distinct, with subtle differences from one to another. Lightweight and ergonomic, this knife is ideal for everyday carry.
In contrast to most contemporary knives, the blade has undergone a forging process, enhancing its mechanical strength and performance. The handle bears the inscription KA-BAR OLEAN, while the opposite side displays DROP FORGED STEEL, both of which highlight the knife’s forged construction.
A specialized sheath, crafted from rugged and durable material and equipped with a secure locking mechanism, allows for convenient carrying as a neck knife.

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.

A knife with an interesting design and at the same time handy.
-
A piece of iron, inspires confidence from the first contact. The handle disappears in a large hand, it's too narrow, but perfect for working with gloves. In my opinion, definitely too big to wear as a neck knife, but that's a personal thing. Nice option for EDC. It could have a leather sheath, but again, that's personal preference.
-
Heavy and clunky - for opening hatches in tanks. Just as it should be.
-
Sharp knife, handy, made to a high polish.
-
A good piece of knife.
-
Looks great and has a nice design. Not too big, it's great to use. It could be sharper, but just a little touch-up on a diamond sharpener and it's fine. It's a bit too shiny for me, so I put it in ferric chloride. In the photos with CRKT M21. I recommend it.

A very comfortable and handy knife.
-
A neat, medium-sized knife. Since I saw it, I knew I had to have it and I was not disappointed, although it could be sharper from the factory. In my opinion, great design.
-
Very handy little knife! Sits well in the sheath. The handle is a bit slippery, but you can fix that with a piece of paracord :)
-
