KA-BAR Short Kraton Utility Knife

The American Legend in a Compact Outdoor Companion.

The KA-BAR Short Kraton Utility Knife takes the legendary design of the iconic KA-BAR and refines it into a more compact, highly practical fixed blade. Offering the same proven craftsmanship and rugged performance as the famous full-sized model, this shorter version is perfectly suited to camping, bushcraft and everyday outdoor utility. Its balanced proportions make it comfortable to carry while retaining the unmistakable character that has made KA-BAR a trusted name for generations.

Forged from premium 1095 Cro-Van carbon steel, the 5.25-inch clip point blade delivers exceptional toughness, outstanding edge retention and dependable cutting performance. The plain edge offers precise control for carving, food preparation, campsite chores and a wide variety of general cutting tasks. Combined with a full tang construction, the blade provides the strength and reliability expected from one of KA-BAR's most respected designs.

Replacing the traditional stacked leather grip is an ergonomically shaped black Kraton G handle, providing a secure, non-slip grip in wet, cold or demanding conditions. The familiar oval profile sits naturally in the hand, offering excellent comfort and control during prolonged use. Measuring 9.25 inches overall, the Short Kraton Utility Knife achieves an ideal balance between portability and capability, making it a versatile companion for outdoor adventures.

Supplied with a durable leather sheath, the KA-BAR Short Kraton Utility Knife combines timeless American knife-making heritage with modern materials for dependable real-world performance. Now discontinued, it has become increasingly sought after by collectors and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a practical variation of the classic KA-BAR design.
