{"title":"Ka-Bar","description":"Ka-Bar is the contemporary popular name for the combat knife first adopted by the United States Marine Corps in November 1942 as the 1219C2 combat knife, and subsequently adopted by the United States Navy as the U.S. Navy utility knife.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough Ka-Bar Knives, Inc., currently makes a wide variety of knives and cutlery, it is best known for the Ka-Bar Fighting\/Utility knife, which has traditionally used a 7-inch (17.8 cm) 1095 carbon steel clip point blade and leather-washer handle.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKa-Bar makes Army and Navy versions along with USMC versions. They are the same as the Marine version except for different initials at the bottom of the blade and different symbols on the sheath. Marines today often treat the blades, guards and pommels with non-reflective black spray paint to reduce reflected light and give them additional protection against saltwater corrosion. According to Ka-Bar, its 1095 Cro-Van, a moderate carbon and low chromium steel alloy, allows the blade to hold an edge very well. The \"1095 Cro-Van\" steel[30][31][32] used in the blades of contemporary Ka-Bars has a hardness of 56–58 HRC, while the guard and pommel are made from sintered 1095 carbon steel. Besides use as a fighting knife, the Ka-Bar has proved useful as a utility knife, for opening cans, digging trenches, and cutting wood, roots, wire, and cable. In 1995, a version was released with a stainless steel blade, synthetic handle, and synthetic sheath marketed as \"The Next Generation\". As of June 2012 the \"Next Generation\" models have been discontinued. In 1999, Ka-Bar released the \"D2 Extreme\" version of their fighting knife, coming with the same synthetic handle and sheath that was produced with the \"Next Generation\", but also a blade made from D2 tool steel for extra edge retention and slightly better corrosion resistance than 1095.","products":[{"product_id":"ka-bar-utility-knife-kraton-plain-with-leather-sheath","title":"KA-BAR Utility Knife Kraton Plain with Leather Sheath","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"page-title\"\u003eKA-BAR Utility Knife Kraton Plain with Leather Sheath\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKa-Bar didn't change the original design, they expanded upon it with Kraton G handles in a fighting\/utility knife.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKa-Bar Fighting\/Utility knife is a popular issue knife for armed force personnel, first responders or extreme outdoor enthusiasts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTough, durable clip point blade style with a flat blade grind, fits comfortable in the hand, while providing excellent traction and control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes a durable, black leather sheath for secure belt carry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"data table additional-attributes\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Colour\" class=\"col data\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Blade Length\" class=\"col data\"\u003e17.7 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Overall Length\" class=\"col data\"\u003e29.8 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eHandle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Handle\" class=\"col data\"\u003eKraton G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Blade Steel\" class=\"col data\"\u003e1095 Cro-Van w\/Black Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eEdge Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Edge Type\" class=\"col data\"\u003ePlain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eBlade Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Blade Type\" class=\"col data\"\u003eClip Point Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eCarry System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Carry System\" class=\"col data\"\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eKnife Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Knife Type\" class=\"col data\"\u003eTactical\/Military\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" class=\"col label\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Weight\" class=\"col data\"\u003e317.5g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"KA-BAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42251844747421,"sku":"K-BAR1211-O","price":3649.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/0745\/products\/K-BAR1211.jpg?v=1756973123"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/0745\/collections\/K-Bar.png?v=1618501641","url":"https:\/\/boystoysshopcoza.shop\/collections\/ka-bar.oembed","provider":"BoysToys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
