The Ka-Bar EK Commando Short Drop Point (brand part no. EK51) shrinks the classic commando fighting-knife profile into a compact fixed blade suited for everyday carry. The 4.375-inch drop point blade is forged from 1095 Cro-Van steel and finished with a flat grind, giving it a strong tip and a controllable edge for utility cutting. The Ultramid handle keeps grip secure even in wet conditions, and a MOLLE-compatible sheath is included for quick attachment to gear. It’s a smart choice for anyone who wants Ka-Bar’s commando pedigree in a smaller, more packable size.
