Usmc Fighting/Utility 1217

The KA-BAR USMC Fighting/Utility Knife 1217 is a time-proven fixed blade built on the same design issued to U.S. Marines since World War II. It features a 7-inch clip point blade made from 1095 Cro-Van carbon steel with a protective black coating, offering a strong balance of toughness, edge performance, and ease of sharpening. The stacked leather handle provides a secure, comfortable grip with a classic look, while the overall design emphasizes both combat capability and practical field use. Paired with a traditional brown leather sheath, the 1217 remains a straightforward, durable knife rooted in one of the most recognizable patterns ever produced.
