The KA-BAR Big Brother 2217 combines classic aesthetics with massive modern capability. KA-BAR manufactures this 9.375-inch beast in the USA from durable 1095 Cro-Van steel. Consequently, it offers the traditional look of the original fighting knife but with significantly increased size and chopping power for heavy field use.
Specifically, the KA-BAR Big Brother 2217 features serrations along the spine of the blade, leaving the primary edge straight for standard cutting. The stacked leather handle provides a comfortable, time-tested grip that breaks in beautifully over time. It includes a classic brown leather sheath for secure belt carry.
If you prefer a more modern, weather-resistant handle material on this same massive blade, check out the KA-BAR Big Brother Kraton G 2211. You can also learn more about their heritage and materials at the official KA-BAR homepage.
