The Ka-Bar 1269 Fighter is very large and feels rock-solid. In terms of size this knife falls in between the Ka-Bar 1217 and the Ka-Bar Big Brother. The Fighter is also enhanced with the design features of both. 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 handle is made from Kraton. A rubber-like material that offers enough grip regardless of the circumstances. 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. Ka-Bar 1269 - living legend. During the 70 years that the Ka-Bar 1269 has been around it became a real living legend. This knife was copied often and many renowned manufacturers produced a version of this model. As such, Ka-Bar almost became a generic name for this amazing knife. You should, however, never forget that there is only one original: the Ka-Bar 1269, made by Ka-Barin New York.
