Ka-Bar Mark 98-R Folding Knife
A folding knife EDC designed for everyday use, opened with one hand using a Flipper. The Cleaver-profile blade is made of 5Cr15 stainless steel, and the black-and-brown handle scales are made of G10 laminate. A metal clip allows for convenient carrying of the knife on a belt or inside a pocket.
Blade made from 5Cr15 steel
The blade is made of 5Cr15 stainless steel, which offers good corrosion resistance and is easy to sharpen. The material is characterized by a good balance of strength, wear resistance, and cutting edge durability, making it ideal for everyday use.
Cleaver-profile blade
A blade with a cleaver profile and a blade thickness of 3 mm, featuring a smooth cutting edge, has been ground using a flat-grind finish. Its distinctive shape provides a large working surface, facilitating precise cutting and chopping.
Ergonomically contoured G10 handle
The handle scales are made of G10 laminate, which is resistant to moisture, mechanical damage, and changing weather conditions. The ergonomic profile ensures a secure grip during use, and the metal clip allows you to conveniently carry the knife on your belt or in your pocket.
Liner lock, flipper with cross guard function
The knife is equipped with a Liner Lock, which prevents the blade from accidentally closing during use. It opens using a flipper, allowing for quick and smooth one-handed deployment of the blade. Once open, the flipper acts as a cross guard, reducing the risk of your hand slipping onto the blade.

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.
