Engraved logo features the historical “The Union” logo from the early 1900s, a bear, and the years marking 120 years – 1898 and 2018. The significance of the bear is in the KA-BAR name itself. An Alaskan hunter was attacked by a Kodiak bear, but successfully defended himself using his Union Cutlery knife. The hunter was so thankful that he sent a letter describing the ordeal with “K a Bar” (Kill a Bear) as well as sending in the bear fur. The officers of Union Cutlery decided to adopt KA-BAR as a trademark in 1924. Offers a blade width of 1.188”, bulk weight of 0.70 lb., a handle constructed of leather, and a blade constructed of 1095-Cro-Van. The blade has a thickness of 0.165” and a flat grind.
