The KA-BAR Full Size US Marine Corps Fighting Knife is the most famous fixed blade knife in the world — and that reputation was earned in combat. Originally designed to serve American troops during World War II, this straight edge variant continues to perform with distinction more than 70 years later. Tang stamped USMC, this knife carries the heritage of every Marine who has carried one into the field. We stock this legendary fixed blade knife for military personnel, collectors, and anyone who demands a blade with proven battlefield credentials.
KA-BAR built this fighting knife with a 7-inch blade designed for both utility and combat applications. The straight edge configuration excels at slicing tasks and controlled cuts, making it a practical choice for camp work, survival situations, and general field use. The stacked leather washer handle provides a secure grip even in wet conditions, while the brown leather construction develops character with use. Each knife ships with a leather sheath included, ready for belt carry. The overall weight of 0.7 lbs keeps the knife substantial enough for hard work without becoming burdensome during extended carry. This is a working tool built to the same specifications that proved themselves across the Pacific Theater.
Whether you're building a survival kit, adding to a military knife collection, or need a dependable fixed blade for backcountry use, the KA-BAR USMC Fighting Knife delivers. The straight edge holds up well to field sharpening and handles the cutting tasks that folding knives cannot. Pair it with quality edged tools from our catalog. We ship from Florida with the same commitment to quality that KA-BAR has maintained since the 1940s.
