Ka-Bar 2221 Mark I Fixed Blade Knife
The Ka-Bar Mark I is an American icon. Originally issued to the Department of the Navy during World War II, this knife has earned its place in the hands of warriors, outdoorsmen, and working professionals for nearly eighty years.
Design & Construction
The Mark I retains the classic oval handle shape that made the original legendary, now crafted from Kraton G—a material engineered to resist sweat, chemicals, water, and the wear that comes from hard use. The 5.13" blade is forged from 1095 Cro-Van steel and finished with an epoxy powder coat that resists corrosion and reflection. The tang is stamped "USN" in honor of its naval heritage.

Why It Matters
This is a working knife, not a collectible. The Mark I excels at camp tasks, field dressing, utility work, and general cutting chores. Its balance, blade geometry, and proven durability make it as relevant today as it was in 1942. If you need a fixed blade you can trust, the Ka-Bar Mark I delivers.
