A Practical Innovation Built on KA-BAR’s Legacy

KA-BAR has long been recognised for practical solutions that support real world use, and accessory systems like this one continue that tradition. Over its history, KA-BAR has engineered equipment that adapts to the needs of soldiers, hunters, and outdoor explorers. The introduction of modular carry options reflects the evolution of field gear toward greater personalisation and versatility. This backing plate connects that heritage to modern expectations by offering an easy way to configure select sheaths for improved access and comfort.
