The **Rick Hinderer KA-BAR Blackwashed 3V, OD Green Micarta** is a stunning version of the characteristic, historically legendary KA-BAR USMC knife, made by Rick Hinderer Knives. With its ‘full-tang’ construction and modern, premium materials, you can immediately see and feel that this is a rock-solid knife. The bolsters and ‘buttcap’ are aluminium with a black coating and black anodisation. Despite the higher weight due to sturdy construction, balance and manoeuvrability are not drastically reduced. Indeed; this knife feels very nicely balanced for a heavy-duty tactical knife of this size. Looking for a flawlessly finished, virtually indestructible-feeling tactical knife with strong historical roots? You're not likely to find a better suited knife than this fixed blade from Rick Hinderer and KA-BAR. Comes with leather sheath with belt loop.



The blade of the Rick Hinderer KA-BAR Blackwashed 3V, OD Green Micarta, fixed knife measures 17,5 cm in length and 4,5 mm in thickness. The total length is 30,6 cm.



## Blade made of CPM 3V steel
The blade is made of CPM 3V steel, a tool steel type known for its exceptional strength. Damage due to breaking therefore hardly ever occurs. CPM 3V retains its sharpness very well. However, you do have to be a little careful with moisture and acids: CPM 3V is not completely corrosion resistant. Keep this knife in perfect condition by taking care to clean it after use and applying a drop of oil every now and then.



The blade features a blackwashed finish. For this finish, the blade is first finished with a coating, then tumbled. This makes the blade look like it has been around for a while, kind of like jeans. A big advantage of this is that traces of use will be much less noticeable.



## Micarta handle 
The handle of the Rick Hinderer KA-BAR Blackwashed 3V, OD Green Micarta, fixed knife is made of micarta. This is a composite material made of fabric and synthetic resin. If you look closely, you can see a subtle texture on the surface, sometimes it looks almost like wood. This material is strong and stable, and it's very grippy.

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
