Description
A Special Edition Honouring Modern Military History.
The KA-BAR USMC Operation Iraqi Freedom Commemorative Fixed Blade Knife is a distinctive collector's edition that pays tribute to one of the defining chapters of modern military history. Built upon the iconic USMC fighting and utility knife design, this American-made commemorative model combines the legendary craftsmanship of KA-BAR with exclusive engraved detailing, making it an exceptional addition to any military or knife collection.
Its 7-inch clip point blade is forged from premium 1095 high carbon steel, renowned for its outstanding toughness, dependable edge retention and ease of sharpening. Finished in a durable black epoxy coating, the blade offers enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining a discreet, non-reflective appearance. A traditional fuller runs along the blade, while the tang is proudly stamped "USMC" and complemented by a laser-engraved Operation Iraqi Freedom logo, giving this knife its unique commemorative identity.
The classic stacked leather washer handle provides the timeless appearance and secure grip that have made KA-BAR knives legendary for generations. Completing the robust construction are a carbon steel guard and a powdered metal butt cap, both protected with an epoxy powder-coated finish for added durability and corrosion resistance. The full tang construction ensures exceptional strength and balance, whether displayed as part of a collection or appreciated for its craftsmanship.
Included with the knife is a premium brown leather sheath embossed with the USMC emblem, providing secure storage while perfectly complementing the traditional styling of this commemorative edition. Now discontinued, the KA-BAR USMC Operation Iraqi Freedom Commemorative Fixed Blade Knife is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of military memorabilia and limited-production KA-BAR knives.
