The Ka-Bar USMC The Legend (5017) knife is the legendary Ka-Bar 1217 knife, created for the needs of the United States Navy during World War II, in a version with a modern GFN sheath. An aggressive blade, secured with a double-sided crossguard, embedded in a buffalo leather handle, finished with a massive steel pommel.
The USMC The Legend (5017) knife from Ka-Bar has a Clip Point-shaped blade with a flat cut, made of one piece of high-quality carbon steel with an admixture of chrome and vanadium 1095 Cro-Van, 4.3 millimeters thick. The blade has a small ricasso above the crossguard, a wide, shallow, double-sided fuller and a false cutting edge on the spine at the top of the blade. In order to eliminate light reflections and protect the steel against external factors, the blade was covered with black powder paint.
The handle of the USMC The Legend knife is made of pressed together discs of buffalo leather. It has a prominent, double-sided steel guard that prevents your hand from slipping onto the blade, and a solid steel head that can be used as an improvised hammer.
The set with the knife includes a light and extremely durable GFN-PA66 composite cover (nylon hardened with glass fiber) in black, adapted to conveniently carry the knife on a belt in a vertical position, and thanks to many attachment and anchoring points compatible with the MOLLE/PALS system , we can easily install it in any section of our equipment.
