The Ka-Bar 5025 USN 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. This version has USN stamped onto the blade, which stands for United States Navy. 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. This version comes with an FRN sheath. FRN is a fibreglass-reinforced nylon material. It can handle all kinds of weather conditions. Specifications Type of steel: 1095 Cro Van carbon steel Hardness: 58 HRC Blade height: 3.1 cm Blade length: 17.7 cm Cutting edge length: 16.5 cm Blade thickness: 4.3 mm Handle length: 12.7 cm Length: 30.5 cm Maximum belt width: 8 cm Weight: 290 g Handle material: leather Sheath/pouch material: FRN Blade finish: dark coating Blade shape: clip point Type of edge: plain edge MOLLE-compatible: yes Country of origin: United States
