Ka-Bar 1256 Fighting/Utility 5.25 Fixed Clip Point Plain 1095 Cro-Van Black Kraton G Handle - Leather Sheath

The Ka-Bar 1256 is the compact "Short" version of Ka-Bar's legendary Fighting/Utility fixed blade, packing the same military-inspired design into a more packable 5.25" blade profile. Built around a differentially heat-treated 1095 Cro-Van steel clip point blade finished with a non-reflective black powder coat, the 1256 is shaped and ground to handle everything from field dressing and camp chores to utility cutting and defensive tasks.

At just 9.25" overall and 6.4 oz, the Short Fighting/Utility rides comfortably on a belt or pack strap and is well suited to anyone who wants the classic Ka-Bar geometry without the full-size footprint. The oval Kraton G thermoplastic elastomer handle fills the hand and maintains a secure, non-slip grip even when wet, while the included leather sheath provides traditional belt carry right out of the box.

Made in USA, this plain edge fixed blade knife ships ready to work and backed by Ka-Bar's reputation for hard-use cutlery.
