USMC Leather Handled Utility Knife

The KA-BAR USMC Fighting/Utility Knife has earned its place as the most recognized fixed blade in the world, trusted by U.S. Marines since World War II. Known for its toughness, balance, and versatility, this legendary knife is now paired with a modern MOLLE-compatible hard sheath for today’s soldiers, outdoorsmen, and collectors who want the best of tradition and innovation.

Crafted with Proven Materials

Forged from 1095 carbon steel, the 7” blade is differentially heat treated for toughness and easy field sharpening. A smooth black epoxy coating is baked onto the blade for lasting durability and corrosion resistance. The blade is proudly stamped with the traditional “USMC” mark on one side and “KA-BAR, Olean NY” on the other, honoring its heritage as an American icon.

Classic Leather Handle Construction

The distinct oval handle is made through a traditional process: leather washers are compressed onto the tang, carefully shaped and colored, and secured with a pinned-on butt cap. This classic method provides both comfort and grip while preserving the look and feel of the original wartime design. Combined with the MOLLE-compatible sheath, this edition delivers a battle-tested blade with modern field carry versatility.
