KA-BAR 5011 Foliage Green, plain edge, Kraton, plastic sheath

The KA-BAR 5011 is a legendary fixed knife. In 1942 this knife was used by the United States Marine Corps as a standard fighting knife for the marines. Ever since this knife is a part of the standard equipment of many soldiers. The knife is big and feels very strong. The handle is enhanced with protective parts to make sure you will never end up on the razor-sharp edge during heavy-duty use. The blade is made from 1095-carbon steel. This steel, however, is not corrosion-resistant. Fortunately the blade is enhanced with a black coating to make sure maintenance is a lot easier.


The handle is made from Kraton in the colour Foliage Green, a grey-green colour. This is a rubber-like plastic that is maintenance-free, and offers a lot of grip. This knife is also sold under the number 1211, but with a differently coloured handle and a leather sheath. This fixed knife comes with a plastic sheath.
