Ka-Bar KA1255 Item Description

If you have ever wanted to own a powerful knife, then the Ka-Bar short Tanto knife (1255) with leather sheath will be the best choice for you. It comes with a 5.25” partially serrated Tanto style blade made from 1095 cro-van carbon steel. The blade is then given a Black epoxy powder coat which makes it look even meaner. This also prevents the sun from glaring off it giving you the upper hand.

The handle is paired off beautifully with the Black oval Kraton G handle. This also comes with a black metal guard, which helps prevent you hand from accidentally slipping onto the blade, causing you any injuries. Added on the end of the handle is a butt cap, which not only makes it looks great it can be used as a defence weapon if needed.

The Ka-Bar short Tanto knife (1255) also comes with a Black leather sheath.

Overall length 9 3/8”.
9 3/8" overall. 5 1/4" partially serrated 1095 carbon steel tanto blade with black epoxy coating. Black grooved Kraton G handle with black coated steel guard and pommel. Black leather belt sheath.
