Kbar Ek Model 5 Commando 6.8" Blk

The KA-BAR EK Model 5 Commando 6.8" Black is a purpose-built fixed-blade combat knife that continues the legendary collaboration between KA-BAR and John Ek Commando Knife Co. This updated version of the occupational fighting knife combines proven design elements with refined materials, delivering a reliable blade for tactical, survival, and outdoor applications. The 6.8-inch Bowie-profile blade in 1095 Cro-Van steel with parkerized finish provides excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, essential for field conditions.

The knife features textured glass-filled nylon handles that deliver a secure, non-slip grip even when wet or gloved. Traditional X-head fasteners ensure reliable handle attachment and allow for field serviceability. At 1.25 lbs total weight, the EK Model 5 balances substantial blade mass with manageable carry weight. The parkerized finish on the blade provides functional corrosion protection without sacrificing edge quality, making this knife suitable for demanding environments where salt water exposure or high-moisture conditions are concerns.

KA-BAR includes a US-made Celcon® sheath with multiple tie-down points, self-locking retention strap, and modular attachment options. This configuration supports belt carry, vest mounting, or pack integration depending on your mission requirements. Whether deployed in fieldcraft scenarios, survival situations, or tactical training, the EK Model 5 delivers the no-nonsense performance that professional users and serious outdoor enthusiasts expect from a fighting knife built on decades of proven design.
