The KA-BAR D2 Extreme 1282 upgrades the classic fighting knife design with premium steel and a rugged sheath. KA-BAR manufactures this 7 inch partially serrated fixed blade in the USA from D2 tool steel. Consequently, it delivers incredible edge retention and wear resistance for the most demanding field applications.
Specifically, the serrations on the KA-BAR D2 Extreme 1282 allow for quick cutting of unparalleled tough materials like synthetic rope or webbing. The blade features a durable epoxy powder coating to protect the semi-stainless D2 steel. It includes a hard plastic sheath that is impervious to saltwater and humidity, ensuring secure carry in any environment.
