KA-BAR Short Fighting/Utility Knife 1257 - Black Kraton G, Serrated Edge

The KA-BAR Short Fighting/Utility Knife 1257 takes the legendary design of the iconic USMC Fighting/Utility Knife and scales it down into a more compact, versatile package. Measuring approximately 75% the size of the full-size model, the Short KA-BAR offers the same proven performance and classic styling in a size that's easier to carry and maneuver. Its clip point blade provides an excellent balance of piercing capability, slicing performance, and everyday utility, making it equally suited for camping, hiking, field use, and general outdoor tasks. The black handle offers a secure, comfortable grip in all weather conditions, while the compact dimensions make the knife ideal for users who prefer a more manageable fixed blade. A traditional black leather sheath is included for secure belt carry and quick access in the field. Made in the USA and built with the same rugged spirit that made the original KA-BAR famous, the Short Fighting/Utility Knife remains a trusted companion for outdoorsmen, collectors, and anyone looking for a dependable all-purpose fixed blade.
