The **KA-BAR 1212** is a cool version of the legendary 1217, but enhanced with a handle made from kraton. Kraton feels like rubber and offers enough grip. Comfortable for your hands, even when it is freezing out.
In 1942 the 1217 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.
