KA-BAR 5017 Fixed Blade Knife

The Iconic KA-BAR with Traditional Leather Grip and Modern Carry System.

The KA-BAR 5017 Fixed Blade Knife combines the timeless styling of the classic KA-BAR with an upgraded carry system for today's outdoor enthusiasts. Featuring the unmistakable stacked leather handle, premium carbon steel blade and a rugged MOLLE-compatible sheath, this American-made fixed blade offers a perfect blend of heritage, durability and practical versatility. Whether carried on outdoor adventures or displayed in a collection, the 5017 remains one of KA-BAR's most desirable modern classics.

The 7-inch clip point blade is forged from 1095 Cro-Van carbon steel, a premium steel trusted for its exceptional toughness, impressive edge retention and ease of maintenance. The plain cutting edge delivers outstanding versatility, making the knife well suited to camping, bushcraft, woodland tasks and general outdoor utility. Proudly tang stamped with the model marking, the blade reflects KA-BAR's long-standing commitment to quality American craftsmanship.

Its traditional stacked leather handle provides the classic appearance that has defined KA-BAR knives for generations while offering a secure and comfortable grip. The natural leather construction develops a distinctive character with age and use, making each knife unique over time. Combined with the full tang construction, the handle delivers excellent strength, balance and reliability.

Included with the knife is a durable hard plastic MOLLE-compatible sheath, allowing secure attachment to compatible packs, belts and outdoor equipment. This modern sheath complements the knife's traditional design, creating a practical combination of classic styling and contemporary functionality. Now discontinued, the KA-BAR 5017 Fixed Blade Knife has become increasingly sought after by collectors and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
