Ka-Bar fixed blade knife USMC Operation Iraqi Freedom
It is important to know that the American army had some problems with its combat knives at the beginning of the Second World War because they were inappropriate or most often absent from combat. Thus Ka-Bar was one of the brands created by the Union Cultery Company in the 1920s and was adopted in 1942 by the USMC (United States Marine Corps) as a combat knife or simply a combat utility knife.
Some of the senior officers worked with the manufacturer and made several important changes: a longer, stronger blade, a shot-peened pommel, a straight steel bodyguard and a leather handle coated for optimum grip.
A few months later it was adopted by the US Navy, the Marine Corps. The glowing report of the combatants on their return from war about this knife dispelled any doubts about its effectiveness in combat and today it is still used by the various corps of the US Army.
This is the Operation Iraqi Freedom commemorative model used by the USMC.
The blade is made of 1095CV 56/58 HRC carbon steel and has a black coating (Teflon) to protect it from corrosion and to remain invisible in the night.
Iraqi Freedom logo engraved in the middle of the blade.
The tip of the blade is Clip Point shaped with a smooth edge and cuts like a razor blade.
Light brown leather handle stacked in a ring pattern, black pommel.
