- The USMC KA-BAR was adopted by the Marines as well as the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Underwater Demolition Teams. Years after World War II, many KA-BAR knives were unofficially reactivated in the Korean, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Iraqi Freedom conflicts. Today, we look back on the KA-BAR's impact on the Marine Corps and the legacy it has made. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl. Taryn Escott)

I’ve had mine 26 years, and I’ve abused and used the heck out of it for so many things since I first got it as a young marine. It’s in my bag every day!!
I have my dads -USMC 1955.
Still looks great and it sits next to his flag case on the mantle.
Former USMC from three deployments to Vietnam. They are part of the Marine Corps.
I am an army infantry veteran and I have to say I carried a usmc ka bar on all three deployments.
I have three. Got my first one in 1969 when I joined the service. When I was a teenager back in the 60s, Kabar would have ads in the back of Sports Afield and other magazines. It said our blades are so strong, a 180 lb man can stand on the handle with only one inch of the blade clamped into a Vice. And it showed a pic of a guy standing on it. Ever since then I wanted that knife. The three of them are as good today as the day I got them. Love my Kabars
The marine corps version of Captain America is the captain who’s last name was America and who helped create the Ka-Bar Knife he is the true Captain America
I snorted when I heard him say that... I didn't plan on having any hot sauce in my nostrils this morning, but here we are.
As kid always wanted a ka bar then my brother join the marines in 2010 and it made me want one even more so I save up but only had enough for a knock off one then fast forward a few years 2019 I’m a adult got my own house and then bought a official ka bar knife after that two more years go by and my brother has retired from the marines and he tells me cool tricks and things it can do and other ways to grip it.
I stick with the 1211 Kabar without the USMC stamp. I never had the honor of serving. To me, it just wouldn't be right to carry one with those emblems. God bless our Vet's 🇺🇸
It depends on perspective, really. If you carry a KABAR with the service branch symbol on it and you never served, you could just be honoring that branch, and you like it. However, if you're telling people you served and you never did, then that's stolen valor, then I agree you shouldn't be carrying it with the stamped branch of service on it. But, do what you feel most comfortable with. I ordered the US Army version and will receive it next week. I never served, but I do appreciate our military.
No one cares lol
I bought one. I use it as a woods knife it works well enough for what I use it for.
After more than 60 years not a single person gets the idea of making a stronger tang for this knife????? Give it a stronger tang and you become one of the best knives in the world. Wake up!
Haha rat tang go brrrrrrrreak.
I agree. The same design visually, just with a true full tang.
@@Mister_Ess I would pay more for a full tang KBar
I also can’t wait for it to happen.
Spartan blades are making a premium version of the usmc Kabar, with magnacut steel, it doesn’t look hugely different in design but they believe it will be stronger, we will see I guess.
The best knife in the world in my opinion.
I blow out scented candles a with my 1911, use my AR-15 to start my BBQ and cut my pancakes with my Ka-Bar.
Cool! I just got a single mark kabar 1213. I love mine.
First speaker has an amazing ASMR voice.
This video has very little to say about how this knife is made. Instead it gives a very abbreviated history of the knife.
Great video!
Shout-out to Captain America for helping to create one of *the* most iconic knives in the world.
Way to go captain America! Making historical legend once again! :)
THE NAME KA-BAR WAS TRADEMARKED IN 1923, BUT THAT KNIFE TYPE IS VERY OLD. I HAVE SEEN JUST THE SAME BLADE WITH THE SAME LEATHER HANDLE IN ANTIQUE SPANISH KNIVES. BUT PROBABLY THE ORIGIN OF THE BLADE IS FROM MIDDLE EAST. NO MATTER THE ORIGIN, IT IS A WORLD ICONIC KNIFE.
Btw a real kbar is full tang there’s a video on the knives from the company you watch the assembly and it’s one solid piece of steel
You’re making the money, so EARN IT !
M1, M1911A1 Colt .45, and Kabar then, an M4, or AR15, Glock 19, Kabar today.
Blood groove?? Come on, man!
It's actually called a fuller
I carry a Kabar every day. And the FULLER has nothing to do with blood but is for weight distribution.
1:00 Never mind the knife, I want the hat.
I've seen the guy in the little boys hat before
I had a Ka-Bar Big Brother Bowie knife, I swedged it to a wicked fierce backcut and used the hell out of it. I liked it but I noticed the tang had actually bent some. I didn't want to break it so I stopped using it & later sold it to a buddy who wanted it.
wait so is the grip *ALL* leather? I though it was made of wood with bits of theatre in the groves.
Celestial Salamander its compacted leather. It doesn’t feel like a leather couch or a leather jacket. I have one and it is AWESOME.
Feels like a softer wood but its actually leather
Wood wouldn't hold up to water and such.
The tang needs to be thicker, because they will bend!😢😂
I got crayons 😂
I've got a Cattaraugus 225Q that needs a bit of a makeover. I think when that's done, I'm getting a KA-BAR so my 225Q doesn't feel so lonely in my bag.
70 years on and massive technological advancements and they are still usimg a rat tail tang on this blade. They could easily make it a full tang knofe at no extra manufacturing expense. Go full tang anf it would be worth the price they charge. Who wants to pay all that money for a knife that is not made to it's full potential? I wouldn't take a Kabar, any make or model, if they paid me to take one. I have knives that I paid less than half what Kabar is charging and are twice the quality and infinately more reliable.
Marketing crap! Blood groove? As a knife manufacturer, they should know and say it's a fuller. Full of bull!
Its marine jargon
@@Alamyst2011 Exactly! I'm A Marine Myself. (Once A Marine Always A Marine) I Served 1983 - 87. And "Blood Groove" Is How We Always Referred To The Ka-Bar Fuller. Just As The Scarlet Stripe Down the Outside Seam of Non-Commissioned Officers Blue Trousers (Dress Blues), Has Always Been Referred To By Marines As A Blood Stripe.
@@jaguarwarrior866 I never had the honor to serve. My grandfather and great uncle were both Marines. And when they taught us kids about the K-bar it was called a blood groove.
And yet Ka Bar finds it impossible to make another small run of USCG knives…you make knives…that’s all you do🤦♂️
" men and women " ?!.........you didn't mention " trans " or " child lovers " or " animal lovers "+++...........
CANCELLED COMRADE !
