The KA-BAR Ek Commando Short Bowie EK50 is a compact tactical knife that adapts the aggressive profile of a classic bowie knife for duty or EDC use. KA-BAR manufactures this rugged 4.31-inch fixed blade in the USA from durable 1095 Cro-Van steel. Consequently, the EK50 delivers superior strength and edge retention in a size that is highly versatile for both tactical and utility roles.

Specifically, the EK50 features a pronounced bowie clip-point blade that excels at piercing and general slicing. The handle is made from durable textured glass-filled nylon (GFN) for a secure, non-slip grip. It includes a heavy-duty Celcon® sheath designed for versatile belt or vest mounting, making it easy to carry this powerful knife concealed.
