The KA-BAR 1259 Short Serrated updates the classic combat design with modern materials for all weather reliability. KA-BAR manufactures this compact fixed blade in the USA using the same tough 1095 Cro-Van steel as its full sized counterparts. Consequently, it offers exceptional strength in a package that is easier to carry on a belt or pack.
Specifically, this model features a partially serrated edge that easily rips through tough, fibrous materials like webbing or rope. The hard plastic sheath provides superior moisture resistance compared to leather and securely locks the knife in place during transport. Furthermore, the black Kraton G handle ensures a positive grip even in wet or muddy conditions.
If you prefer a straight edge blade with this same rugged sheath, check out the KA-BAR 1258 Short Knife. You can also learn more about their tactical gear at the official KA-BAR homepage.
