Spartan KA-BAR - Classic Design Meets Modern Craftsmanship
On December 9, 1942, amid the onset of World War II, KA-BAR submitted a knife to the United States Marine Corps with the hope that it would become the standard issue for that military branch. Collaborating with the Marine Quartermaster Department, the initial design underwent revisions, leading to the production of an enhanced fighting and utility knife tailored for the Marines.
In 2019, KA-Bar expanded its horizons by partnering with Spartan Blades, LLC to establish Pineland Cutlery, Inc. This collaboration aimed to fulfill the vision of John Stitt, CEO of both KA-Bar and Pineland Cutlery, to produce an upgraded version of the iconic "KA-BAR" knife, boasting enhanced edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The result of this endeavor was the Spartan-KA-BAR.
Designed for modern performance, the Spartan-KA-BAR features CNC-machined construction, deep cryogenic treatment, and PVD-coated hardware, giving it unmatched durability. Available in Flat Black DLC or Flat Dark Earth ZrN, this fixed blade is both functional and collector-worthy.
Experience the Spartan-KA-BAR, a best-in-class tactical fixed blade combining military heritage, modern materials, and precision engineering. Whether for EDC, survival, outdoor adventure, or collection purposes, this knife delivers uncompromising performance, reliability, and style.
