A folding knife crafted by Jesse Jarosz, resulting from a collaboration between Ka-Bar and Jarosz Knives.
The blade, featuring a wharncliffe profile, is made from AUS8A stainless steel with a hardness rating of 57-59 HRC. Enhanced by a visually appealing stonewash finish, signs of wear remain discreet. Jimping along the spine provides a secure thumb placement for improved control.
Deploying the blade is done via the flipper tab, which serves as a protective guard when open, preventing the hand from sliding forward. The blade is secured in the open position with a robust frame-lock mechanism integrated into the handle, known for its strength, stability, and easy maintenance.
The handle is constructed with a titanium frame and secured on one side with a G10 composite scale—a highly durable glass-epoxy laminate with an anti-slip texture. Torx screws keep all components tightly fastened.
A steel pocket clip offers two carry options: tip-up (from the end of the handle) or tip-down (closer to the blade). A generously sized lanyard hole at the handle's end accommodates a safety cord or keychain.

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.
