KA-BAR USMC 1213 plain edge, Kraton, kydex sheath

The KA-BAR 1213 USMC 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 a knife guard 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.

This 1213 version is enhanced with a Kraton handle. A rubber-like material that offers enough grip regardless of the circumstances. The KA1213 is enhanced with a solid plastic sheath.
