Ka-Bar USMC OEF Afghanistan [9169]

This knife has been laser engraved with carefully designed blade art meant to honor those men and women who served in Afghanistan.

Since the 1940's, the Ka-Bar 7" Fighting/Utility knife has been a trusted companion for Soldiers, Marines and Seamen alike. Now with the tradition that more than half a century brings, combined with modern tooling and construction, the Ka-Bar USMC Operation Enduring Freedom Fighting/Utility knife honors Marine veterans who served during Operation Enduring Freedom with this commemorative memorial knife. Featuring the iconic clip point blade, 1095 Cro-Van steel is painstakingly ground and heat treated to ensure each knife is tough and durable while remaining easy to sharpen to a hair popping edge and features gold decorative artwork. Stacked leather handles are bonded together and contoured into the familiar oval shape, comfortable in hand while providing excellent traction and control. Safely nestled between the finger guard and pommel, the Ka-Bar Fighting/Utility knife remains secure in hand whether you're in close quarters combat or blazing a trail through thick vegetation.

7" black epoxy powder coated 1095 carbon steel blade with fuller groove. Blade features gold color commemorative etch of "Operation Afghanistan Enduring Freedom". Black epoxy powder coated carbon steel guard and butt.
