The **KA-BAR 1217 USMC** is a legendary fixed knife. In 1942 this knife was used by the United States Marine Corps as a standard fighting knife for the marines. Ever since this knife is a part of the standard equipment of many soldiers. The knife is big and feels very strong. The handle is enhanced with a knife guard to make sure you will never end up on the razor-sharp edge during heavy-duty use. The blade is made from 1095-carbon steel. This steel, however, is not corrosion-resistant. Fortunately the blade is enhanced with a black coating to make sure maintenance is a lot easier. The handle is made from stacked leather rings. It feels comfortable in hand, even in the freezing cold. 

## KA-BAR 1217: living legend

During the 70 years that the KA-BAR 1217 has been around it became a real living legend. This knife copied often and many renowned manufacturers produced a version of this model. As such KA-BAR almost became a generic name for this amazing knife. You should, however, never forget that there is only one original: the KA-BAR 1217, made by KA-BAR in New York.

You can carry the KA-BAR 1217 in the included leather sheath.

Ein toller Klassiker, welcher zwar unter das Führungsverbot fällt, mit dem das Arbeiten aber viel Spaß macht. Es ist gut verarbeitet und steckt daher auch gröbere Arbeiten gut weg.
Nachdem ich mein erstes 1217 vor langer Zeit wieder verkauft hatte, habe ich hier für einen sehr guten Preis ein weiters Mal zugeschlagen und diesmal bleibt das Messer auch bei mir.

Coltello bellissimo ottima qualità’ del fodero ho fatto anche incisione al laser che gli dona quel tocco di personalizzazione in più consigliatissimo l’ acquisto

General information

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

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.
