The USA made KA-BAR 1257 is a compact fighting knife featuring a 5.25 inch partially serrated 1095 Cro-Van blade and a high grip Kraton handle. Includes a black leather sheath.

The KA-BAR Short Black Serrated combines the legendary durability of the USMC design with a modern tactical look and compact size. KA-BAR manufactures this rugged fixed blade in the USA from 1095 Cro-Van steel. Consequently, it is tough enough for demanding tasks while remaining easy to carry.

Specifically, this model features a partially serrated edge that quickly rips through synthetic materials like rope, webbing, or heavy fabric. The black Kraton G handle offers a superior, non-slip grip compared to traditional leather, especially in wet conditions. It comes complete with a black leather sheath.

If you prefer a classic straight edge in this same compact size, check out the KA-BAR Short Black Straight Edge (1256). You can also learn more about their history at the official KA-BAR homepage.
