Description
The knife in question is the KA-BAR Mark 1 Black 2221. It is a fixed-blade knife with a black high-carbon blade and an oval-shaped handle made from black Kraton G. The knife has a 56-58 HRC and is 12.7 cm long. The blade edges are plain and the steel is 1095 Cro-Van. The knife is made in the USA and the sheath is made in Mexico.
Its tough to argue with the success of the worlds most recognizable, time-tested fixed-blade knife so KA-BAR did what any smart company would do, they didnt change the original design, they expanded upon it. The high-carbon, non-reflective black blade is epoxy powder-coated and tests prove the finish is more durable than ever. The classic oval shape of the original KA-BAR remains and has been modernized with a material nearly impervious to sweat, chemicals, water and wear, Kraton G.
