KA-BAR KNIVES RELEASES LIMITED RUN RED SPACER KA-BAR KNIFE

KA-BAR Knives has announced a limited run on the iconic Red Spacer Ka-Bar fixed blade fighting knife.

KA-BAR Knives states “The Red Spacer KA-BAR is arguably the most collectible KA-BAR Knife made during World War II.

The distinct red spacer below the handguard and above the leather washer has caught the eye of collectors for decades.

Though originals are rare and expensive, KA-BAR’s State & Union shop has made a small batch of this iconic knife.

The leather washers are shaped by hand and dyed to create an aged appearance. The pommel is ground down to replicate the dimensions of the original.

Each red spacer is hand-made to be slightly longer than the current spacer used on KA-BAR Fighting/Utility Knives.

The blade is sandblasted, then cold gun blued.

The sheath undergoes an aging process to darken the leather and match the original sheath color.”
