A utility/fighting knife first issued to the USMC during WWII. It served as a can opener, a trench digger, a log splitter, and proved useful in cutting roots, wire, and cable. Of course, when necessary, the Ka-Bar also proved quite useful in creating rather impressively large wound channels in the flesh of its targets. For the larger part of a century, this knife and its adapted variants accompanied the men who lived and died for the United States. Despite its rather dated design, this tool to this date maintains its value in the eyes of those who are always prepared.
From Marvel's "The Punisher":

Frank: "I gotta tell you, I do approve of your choice of weapons. What you picked, that's called a Ka-Bar. It's a Marine's best friend. You know, up close, I'd rather have this than any firearm. You see, with a gun, the target can get lucky. A bullet can miss what's important. But not with this. You slide it in, you guide it through and you rip right into the parts of a man that make him dead. There's no luck in that."

Get the Ka-Bar mug.
Ka-Bar is not a knife, it is a company that makes knives. They have many knives that are usually military grade and totally kick ass. A lot of our troops over seas use and love Ka-Bar knives.

Get the Ka-Bar mug.
a single edged knife with a rawhide handle that was designed and made during WWII and used by the USMC, as both a fighting and utility knife. This knife is still on issue to the USMC, like it deserves to be.
Ka-bars were the choice knife for the USMC since the Second World War...
