The **Spartan KA-BAR Black Leather** is a modern version of a legendary fixed blade knife. In 1942, KA-BAR submitted a knife to the United States Marine Corps in the hope that it would become a standard piece of equipment for Marines. In collaboration with the Marine Quartermaster Department, the design was revised and production of an improved military knife began. This version comes with a black leather sheath.

## The Spartan KA-BAR material

This Spartan KA-BAR features a handle made from kraton. This is a rubber-like material that provides a lot of grip. Feels comfortable in hand, even in wet or cold circumstances. The blade is made from MagnaCut, one of the most talked-about steels of the past years. Many feel this type of steel is 'perfect'. A bold claim, but justified. It is a stainless type of tool steel, with a toughness and sharpness retention comparable to carbon steels such as CPM-CruWear, CPM-4V and Vanadis 4. The corrosion resistance is also sublime. Better than the popular stainless types of steel such as CPM S110V, CPM S45VN and Böhler M390. If that is not perfection, we don't know what is! 

The knife has a black tungsten DLC coating. This makes the knife look even cooler, and it makes the knife even more resistant to rust as well. Please keep in mind that a coating can wear off. This can happen even from the friction of taking the knife out of the sheath and putting it back in. This is completely normal and will give your knife a battle-scarred look.

## The Spartan KA-BAR USMC

The USMC's KA-BAR knives became known for their quality and were so abundant that 'KA-BAR' became the name by which many referred to this knife, regardless of where it was made. It was adopted not only by the Marines, but also by other branches of the army and special units. After World War II, many KA-BAR knives were re-used in later conflicts. In 2019, KA-BAR joined forces with Spartan Blades, LLC, in order to establish Pineland Cutlery, Inc. They wanted to create a version of the 'KA-BAR' knife with better cutting performance, toughness and corrosion resistance. 

A metallurgist named Larrin Thomas discovered the perfect steel for this knife: CPM MagnaCut®. CPM MagnaCut® is a stainless steel produced by Crucible Industries, a US company specialising in special steels. Spartan Blades was commissioned to develop this blade using advanced processes, such as CNC machining, deep cryogenic treatment and PVD coatings. The result? The Spartan KA-BAR!

General information

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

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge 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.

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

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

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).
