The KA-BAR Dust II 6101 is the largest and most powerful fixed blade in the Dust series designed by Jesse Jarosz. KA-BAR manufactures this heavy-duty 5.75-inch blade in the USA from premium D2 tool steel. Consequently, this knife is built to handle significant chopping and prying while maintaining a superior, long-lasting edge.
Specifically, the Dust II features an extended drop point blade ideal for heavier camp and tactical tasks. The handle is made from textured Ultramid (GFN) in a subdued black color for maximum grip security. Like its smaller sibling, it includes an integrated glass breaker/spike pommel and a versatile Kydex sheath for secure mounting.
