The Ka-Bar USMC Knife (brand part no. 1252) is the short, serrated version of Ka-Bar’s famous Marine Corps fixed blade, built at three-quarters the size of the original but to the same demanding standard. The 5.25-inch clip point blade is forged from 1095 Cro-Van steel and finished with a partial serration, and the oval-shaped brown leather handle keeps the traditional feel intact. Tang-stamped USMC and shipped with a sheath, it’s a compact, capable knife for anyone who wants the historic pattern with added cutting versatility.
