The Ka-Bar D2 Extreme Knife (brand part no. 1282) upgrades Ka-Bar’s classic clip point fixed blade to premium D2 tool steel, prized among knifemakers for its exceptional edge retention. This 7-inch serrated version cuts rope and synthetic materials cleanly while holding its edge far longer than standard carbon steel. The Kraton G handle keeps grip secure, and a powdered-metal butt cap and guard round out a knife built for serious field use. It ships with a hard plastic, MOLLE-compatible sheath.
