Sometimes, the old ways are the best ones. Firearms are useful as long as you have ammunition on your person, and that thing tends to run out from time to time. Cold weapons, however, don’t rely on anything to function. The moment you put a folding knife into your pocket or backpack, it is ready to go anytime you take it out. KA-BAR is an industry veteran that has been producing knives for almost 125 years and has had more than enough opportunities to show what their knives are worth.
Ka-BAR USMC Knife
In 1942 KA-BAR knives made their way to the US Marine Corps for inspection to potentially be issued to the same branch. Working together with the Marine Quartermaster Department, KA-BAR revised the design and began the production of improved combat and utility knives for the Marines. After the war escalated, the popularity of KA-BAR USMC skyrocketed, resulting in “Kabar” becoming a household name by which people referred to all knives of a similar pattern. It wasn’t long before USMC KA-BAR knives were adopted by other military units like the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Team. When the troubled times came to end, a KA-BAR knife wasn’t forgotten. Even today, it remains the first choice for many men and women in service who carry it as their personal knife option.
KA-BAR TDI Knife
The fixed blade is not the only configuration of knives produced by this brand. KA-BAR folding knife series feature more compact blades that are nonetheless not inferior to their more popular siblings. Designed for extreme close-quarter combat, their folding knives are also packed with comfort features like glass filled nylon sheath for ultimate retention and easy draw from the waistband. The series includes KA-BAR TDI Investigator, Hinderer, Dozier, Skeleton knives, and several other models. Depending on the model, knives come with the signature KA-BAR TDI sheath made from either plastic or nylon.
