Ka-Bar Knives 4.62" REVERSE TANTO & SHEATHKA-BAR LES GEORGE COOL NAME

The Ka-Bar Knives Les George Cool Name is a fixed blade knife built around a distinctive reverse tanto profile that delivers a cutting tool equally at home in camp, on the trail, or at the workbench. With a 4.625-inch blade in 1095 Cro-Van steel and an overall length of 9.375 inches, this mid-size fixed blade strikes a practical balance between control and reach. The reverse tanto geometry—spine-forward edge geometry near the tip—excels at slicing and detail work while the blade's plain edge keeps maintenance simple and performance predictable. Ka-Bar's reputation for reliable, no-nonsense tools runs deep, and this design reflects that ethos: a knife that does its job without fuss.

The smoke polycarbonate handle provides a secure, weather-resistant grip in wet conditions or heavy use. Polycarbonate handles aren't flashy, but they're durable, easy to clean, and won't swell or shrink with humidity changes—exactly what you want from a working knife. The black blade resists corrosion and keeps glare to a minimum in bright conditions. Ka-Bar includes a fitted sheath, so you're ready to carry and deploy from day one.

Whether you're a hunter who needs a reliable camp knife, a hiker looking for a versatile cutting tool, or someone who appreciates straightforward steel that performs without requiring constant maintenance, the Cool Name delivers the kind of practical functionality that defines the Ka-Bar name. This is a knife you can trust.
