A Legendary Commando Knife Reimagined

The KA-BAR Ek Model 5 continues the proud tradition of the John Ek Commando Knife Company, carrying forward a heritage of blades trusted by American servicemen since World War II. As the third introduction into KA-BAR’s Ek lineup, this highly anticipated model updates the iconic occupational fighting knife with modern materials and battle-ready refinements.

Modern Materials, Classic Design

Built from 1095 Cro-Van steel, the Model 5 features a parkerized bowie-style blade designed for durability and corrosion resistance in the field. The handle is constructed with textured glass-filled nylon for a secure, all-weather grip, fastened with the distinctive Ek “X-head” fasteners that mark the lineage of this historic knife. Rugged, reliable, and made to perform, it blends traditional fighting knife design with modern toughness.

US-Made Sheath Included

Each Ek Model 5 comes with a USA-made Celcon® sheath, complete with a retaining strap, self-locking function, and multiple tie-down points for versatile carry. Whether you are a collector of military blades or a professional who demands proven performance, the EK45 is a worthy successor to the Ek fighting legacy.

T Jean T. - Verified Buyer

"Very nice and light blade, fast in the hand and razor sharp out of the box, unsharpened false edge, but thin enough that it could be easily sharpened with a hand held carbide tool or using a belt sander with minimal amount of metal removed."
