A Compact Version of the Legendary KA-BAR

The KA-BAR 1258 Short KA-BAR® delivers all the reliability of the iconic full-size KA-BAR in a more compact form. With its 5.25” blade, this knife is designed for everyday fieldwork, camping, and utility tasks where a practical, mid-sized fixed blade is more convenient to carry and handle.

Trusted Blade for Utility

Crafted from durable high-carbon steel and heat-treated for strength, the Short KA-BAR® provides excellent edge retention and toughness. Its manageable size makes it ideal for cutting, slicing, and light chopping without sacrificing the proven performance of the original KA-BAR design. Compact yet strong, it’s a versatile tool for outdoorsmen and professionals alike.

Rugged Sheath Included

Each knife comes with a hard plastic MOLLE-compatible sheath, offering secure protection and versatile mounting options on packs, belts, or tactical gear. The KA-BAR 1258 Short KA-BAR® is a practical choice for anyone who wants the toughness of a KA-BAR in a lighter, more portable size.
