Ka-Bar Apex (5500) 3.9" D2 Black Clip Point Plain Blade, Green Glass Filled Nylon Handle, Black Hard Plastic Sheath

The Ka-Bar Apex Fixed Blade Knife (Model 5500) is a remarkable creation by renowned designer Petr Janda, who gained acclaim for his popular FIN line of knives. Janda brings his expertise and thoughtful design philosophy to the Apex, a fixed blade that achieves a perfect balance between functional form and rugged capability. The Apex is specifically engineered to be a slim and robust tool, making it an ideal choice for tasks requiring precision in tight corners and confined spaces where larger knives would be cumbersome.

This knife is crafted for exceptional durability, featuring a 3.9-inch clip point blade made from tough D2 tool steel. This high-carbon, high-chromium steel boasts excellent edge retention and superior wear resistance, heat-treated to an HRC of 59-61. The blade is finished with a sleek black coating for added corrosion resistance and a non-reflective finish. 

Weighing just 4.32 ounces with an overall length of 8.43 inches, the Apex is a substantial yet highly portable fixed blade. The ergonomic Green GFN (Glass Filled Nylon) handle provides a secure and comfortable grip. For safe storage and easy transport, the knife comes with a durable Black Hard Plastic Sheath that complements its slim profile, allowing for convenient, bulk-free carry. The knife is built to Ka-Bar's high standards.
