Dust I

You have a plan? Wrong. You have a survival instinct, and it tells you that you need the magnificent Ka-Bar Dust I, because the wilderness takes no consideration for you. No time for glamour, no compromises. This knife is no-frills – it is a direct slap in the face of civilization. Imagine: you are standing in a rain-soaked field, the wind is blowing, and you hear the distant cracking of branches. What do you do? You pull out the Dust I, which, with its 15.7 cm blade made of D2 steel and blackwash finish, has more stories to tell than you ever could. Your knife bears the scars of the past, but you will never see them. The 4.8 mm thick D2 steel ensures that you don't have to worry about quality. With a hardness of 61 HRC, it offers excellent sharpness and impressive abrasion resistance.

The GFN (glass-filled nylon) handle stays sturdy and non-slip even in rain and mud.

This handle gives you the feeling that you will never lose control thanks to its non-slip surface. 

And the “spiked buttcap” at the end of the handle? Sure, you can smash window panes, but it will also help you out of many sticky situations – as a last resort in an emergency. With a total length of 28 cm and a weight of only 218 g, the Dust I is a real force in terms of precision and handling, without burdening you with unnecessary ballast. And the best part? It comes with a plastic sheath that is MOLLE compatible, allowing you to carry it any way you can imagine. 

At the end of the day, the Ka-Bar Dust I is not just a loyal companion. It's the feeling that you always have a backup plan, even if you never need it. None of us are looking for heroism – but the Dust I gives you the assurance that you can just do it at the right moment.
