The John Ek Commando knife has been a beloved choice for both U.S. military personnel and civilians since it was first produced in 1941. In 2015, Ka-Bar acquired the rights to the Ek Commando knife and has continued the American legend in new and exciting ways. These knives are specifically designed for close-quarters combat, but they also excel as outdoor camping and hunting knives due to their incredibly strong construction and proven design. The Commando stands out from the rest with its comfortable handle, a variety of blade shapes and sizes, and durable materials. Ka-Bar Tactical Fixed Blades are well-known for their effective design and exceptional quality. When you find yourself in a tough situation, it's time to gear up with Ka-Bar!
