Modern production. This is a currently made piece in the tradition of the original; the history below is about the original.
The KA-BAR is the fighting and utility knife of the United States Marine Corps: a seven-inch clip-point blade of carbon steel with a blood groove, a stacked-leather handle and a steel pommel, adopted in November 1942 as the USMC 1219C2 and the Navy Mark 2.

It is the most recognizable American military knife ever made.
