KA-BAR Knives Canada

A Legacy Forged in Steel - The KA-BAR Story

Few names in the knife world carry the legacy of KA-BAR. It began in the late 1800s when cutlers in Pennsylvania and New York laid the foundation for what would become one of America’s most respected knife makers.

Key milestones that shaped the legend:

• 1898 - The Union Razor Company begins manufacturing knives, establishing the roots of KA-BAR.
• 1920s - The famous “KA-BAR” name is born after an Alaskan hunter writes to thank the company for a knife that saved his life from a Kodiak bear - inspiring the phrase “Kill A Bear,” later stylized as KA-BAR.
• 1942 - KA-BAR collaborates with the U.S. Marine Corps to create the now-legendary USMC Fighting/Utility Knife, a standard issue for World War II Marines.
• 1952 - Union Cutlery officially becomes KA-BAR, solidifying its identity as a brand synonymous with military excellence.
• 1996 - The brand returns home to Olean, New York, joining forces with Cutco to preserve traditional American knife-making.
• 2000s–Today - Partnerships with master designers such as Bob Dozier, Ethan Becker, and Spartan Blades expand KA-BAR’s reach into the tactical, hunting, and survival markets.
• 2023 - KA-BAR celebrates 125 years of continuous production; a true testament to craftsmanship and endurance.

Each KA-BAR knife represents more than just steel and leather — it embodies 125 years of American craftsmanship, now proudly available to Canadian enthusiasts through Reliks.
