KA-BAR 5054 Short Fighting/Utility Knife – Tanto Blade, Black Finish
The KA-BAR 5054 Short Tanto Utility Knife is built for toughness, compactness, and precision. Featuring a stout 5.25” tanto-style blade crafted from 1095 Cro-Van steel, this knife is engineered to pierce and endure—making it ideal for tactical, utility, or field applications.
Designed with the same DNA as the legendary USMC KA-BAR, this shorter version offers improved portability without sacrificing power. The grippy Kraton G handle ensures firm control in wet or dry conditions, and the rugged powder-coated blade shrugs off corrosion and abrasion.
