The Ka-Bar 1254 Short Tanto knife is a compact version of the classic combat and utility knife, reduced to 3/4 of the size of the original. The model combines tradition with modernity, retaining the original design while using modern materials. It is particularly suitable for those who are looking for a knife with a traditional shape but do not need a full-size tool.
The hidden tang blade is made of high-carbon 1095 Cro-Van steel, known for its excellent wear resistance and ease of sharpening.The smooth cutting edge, combined with the Tanto profile, is suitable for both precision cutting and piercing. The blade surface has a black finish to prevent light reflection and protect against corrosion.
The handle is made of Kraton, which allows for a secure grip and high comfort of use, as well as giving the tool a modern, tactical look. The wide guard protects against injury by preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade. The whole is complemented by a black leather sheath with a belt mount, which allows for convenient transport of the knife.
