Ka-Bar
Ka-Bar (trademarked as KA-BAR, capitalized) is the contemporary popular name for the combat knife first adopted by the United States Marine Corps in November 1942 as the 1219C2 combat knife (later designated the USMC Mark 2 combat knife or Knife, Fighting Utility), and subsequently adopted by the United States Navy as the U.S. Navy utility knife, Mark 2.〔Shackleford, Steve (ed.), ''Blade's Guide To Knives And Their Values'' (7th ed.), Iola, WI: Krause Publications, ISBN 1-4402-0387-3, ISBN 978-1-4402-0387-9 (2009), p. 387〕〔Petzal, David E., ''The 20 Best Knives Ever Made: The Jar-Head Favorite, Ka-Bar Marine Corps Fighting Knife'', Field & Stream Magazine, Vol. CXIII, No. 2 (June 2008), p. 73: The USMC 1219C2 was first manufactured in January 1943 by the Camillus Cutlery Company of Camillus, New York〕 Additionally, KA-BAR is the trademark and namesake of a related knife manufacturing company, KA-BAR Knives., Inc. (formerly Union Cutlery Co.) of Olean, New York, a subsidiary of the Cutco Corporation.
Although KA-BAR Knives, Inc. currently makes a wide variety of knives and cutlery, it is best known for the KA-BAR Fighting/Utility knife, which has traditionally used a 7 in. (178 mm) 1095 carbon steel clip point blade and leather-washer handle. Other, more modern versions of this knife feature single or dual-edge blades and synthetic handles made of Kraton (a non-slip rubber substitute).
==History==
The owner of the KA-BAR trademark, the Union Cutlery Co. of Olean, New York, began using the name on its knives and in its advertising in 1923〔Shackleford, Steve (ed.), ''Blade's Guide To Knives And Their Values'' (7th ed.), Iola, WI: Krause Publications, ISBN 978-1-4402-0387-9, p. 143〕 after receiving a testimonial letter from a fur trapper, who used the knife to kill a wounded bear that attacked him after his rifle jammed.〔(How KA-BAR Got Its Name )〕 According to company records, the letter was only partially legible, with "ka bar" readable as fragments of the phrase "kill a bear".〔〔''The legend of KA-BAR'', Field & Stream Magazine, Vol. 83, No. 6 (October 1978), p.154〕 In 1923, the company adopted the name KA-BAR from the "bear story" as their trademark.〔〔 Beginning in 1923, the KA-BAR trademark was used as a ricasso stamp by Union Cutlery Co. on its line of automatic switchblade pocket knives, including the ''KA-BAR Grizzly'', ''KA-BAR Baby Grizzly'', and ''KA-BAR Model 6110 Lever Release'' knives.〔Erickson, Mark, ''Antique American Switchblades, Chapter 22: KA-BAR, a trademark of Union Cutlery Co., Olean, NY'', Krause Publications, ISBN 0-87349-753-8 (2004)〕
