The KA-BAR Slabby 1310 reimagines the most famous fixed blade in the world with robust full tang construction. KA-BAR manufactures this heavy duty 7 inch blade in the USA from their legendary 1095 Cro-Van steel. Consequently, it addresses the one historical critique of the original design by eliminating the rat-tail tang for maximum strength.
Specifically, the KA-BAR Slabby 1310 features durable Micarta handle “slabs” that provide excellent traction even when wet or muddy. It retains the classic clip point blade profile that has served troops and outdoorsmen for decades. It includes a durable hard plastic sheath for secure carry.
If you prefer the classic stacked leather handle design, check out the original KA-BAR USMC 1217. You can also learn more about their manufacturing history at the official KA-BAR homepage.
