It"s tough to argue with the success of the world"s most recognizable, time-tested fixed-blade knife so Kabar did what any smart company would do: they didn"t change the original design, they expanded upon it. This knife features a high-carbon, epoxy powder-coated 440A steel non-reflective blade. Tests prove the finish is more durable than ever. The 1451CP has a Kraton G handle material which is nearly impervious to sweat, chemicals, water and wear. Flexible rust-resistant blade and ergonomically shaped slip-resistant handle ensure easy filleting.
