EK Folder

The KA-BAR Ek Folder (EK201) marks a bold new chapter in the legendary Ek Commando Knife line. Sleek, elegant, and modern, this is the very first folding knife in the Ek series—combining the tactical heritage of John Ek’s combat blades with contemporary EDC convenience. Built for those who want performance and style in a streamlined package, the Ek Folder is as functional as it is striking.

Premium Materials and Smooth Action

The 4” blade is crafted from premium S35VN steel, known for its superior toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Riding on caged ball bearings, the flipper mechanism deploys quickly and smoothly, while the liner lock ensures secure lock-up during use. The handle is made of black glass-filled nylon, lightweight yet rugged, and features the distinct “Ek” hardware that ties it back to its commando roots.

Carry with Confidence

With an overall open length of 9.19”, the Ek Folder strikes the balance between cutting power and carryability. A reversible pocket clip allows for flexible, ambidextrous everyday carry. Made in Taiwan with attention to detail, this folding knife is a modern evolution of the Ek brand—ready to serve as both a collector’s piece and a dependable daily companion.
