Kbar Short Fighting Knf 5" W/shth

The KA-BAR Short Fighting Knife 5" with sheath is a compact fixed-blade combat knife designed for close-quarters field work, survival applications, and tactical operations. Built on KA-BAR's proven design legacy, this 5-inch blade delivers the cutting performance needed in high-stress scenarios where size and weight efficiency matter. The partially serrated edge excels at cutting webbing, rope, synthetic materials, and field conditions where a pure straight edge has limitations.

The blade is forged from 1095 Cro-Van steel—a carbon steel alloy that delivers excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening in the field. The Kraton G handle provides a non-slip grip that maintains control in wet conditions, during gloved operations, or under stress when precision and confidence are essential. The full tang construction ensures durability through hard use, while the included leather sheath allows secure carry on belt rigs, chest harnesses, or pack attachment points. At 0.81 lbs with a 5-inch blade, this knife stays light enough for extended carry without adding fatigue.

This blade suits operators, law enforcement, military personnel, outdoor professionals, and serious survivalists who need a reliable fixed blade that won't fail under field conditions. The size occupies a practical middle ground—larger than a utility folder, smaller than a bowie-class fighting blade—making it versatile enough for utility work, emergency response, and tactical applications. KA-BAR's USA manufacturing and proven track record across decades of military and civilian use underscore the brand's standing in the fixed-blade market.
