KA-BAR D2 Utility Fixed Blade Knife with Black Coated Blade

Legendary Design. Modern Steel. Built for Hard Work.

The KA-BAR D2 Utility Fixed Blade Knife is a modern evolution of the iconic KA-BAR 1217, one of the most recognisable fixed blade knives ever produced. Retaining the timeless clip point profile that made the original famous, this upgraded model introduces premium D2 tool steel and practical modern features, making it an outstanding choice for camping, bushcraft and demanding outdoor utility.

Its 7-inch clip point blade is precision crafted from D2 tool steel, a premium material renowned for exceptional toughness, wear resistance and long-lasting edge retention. While D2 is not fully corrosion resistant, the blade is protected by a durable black coating, helping to minimise maintenance and provide additional resistance against the elements. The plain cutting edge offers clean, controlled cutting performance across a wide variety of outdoor and workshop tasks, while the full tang construction ensures dependable strength under heavy use.

The ergonomically shaped Kraton G handle is designed for comfort and security in all conditions. An integral finger guard helps keep the hand safely positioned during demanding work, while the practical lanyard ring provides an additional attachment point for carrying or retention. Measuring 12 inches overall, the knife delivers excellent reach and balance while remaining comfortable to control during prolonged use.

Included with the knife is a durable plastic sheath, providing secure blade retention and convenient belt carry. Proudly based on one of KA-BAR's most celebrated designs, the KA-BAR D2 Utility Fixed Blade Knife combines proven heritage with modern materials. Now discontinued, it has become an increasingly sought-after model for collectors and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a premium version of this American classic.
