The KA-BAR USMC Serrated Edge is the modern evolution of the most famous fixed blade knife in history. While it shares the same iconic profile and build quality as its straight edge counterpart, this version introduces a powerful serrated section to the 7 inch 1095 Cro-Van steel blade.
This serrated edge makes the knife exceptionally effective at cutting through fibrous and synthetic materials like rope, webbing, or canvas. Consequently, it is a top choice for utility, survival, and tactical applications. The blade’s durable black coating protects it from the elements, while the classic stacked leather handle provides a timeless look and a reliable grip.
This model includes a high quality brown leather sheath, proudly embossed with the USMC “Eagle, Globe, and Anchor” logo. For additional information on their historic lineup, visit the official KA-BAR website.
If your tasks demand a traditional, smooth blade, we also recommend the KA-BAR USMC Fighting Knife, Straight Edge 1217. To properly honor and safeguard this historic blade, consider displaying it in the Tomar’s 1431-AB presentation case.
