The Ka-Bar 1245 Tanto fighter gathers much of its design from asian influence. With its immaculately crafted, hollow ground blade, pronounced tanto tip and false edge, the 1245 Tanto Fighter embodies the legendary strength and shape that has made this style of knife so famous. Traditional to Ka-Bar's style of handle the 1245 uses the the famous banded grip, in this case, made from highly grippy Kraton G. Crafted from 1095 Cro-Van steel, this knife is built to hold an edge and is ready to perform even the most enduring tasks. 

The KA-BAR synthetic sheath is made of fiberglass filled reinforced nylon. The synthetic sheath features two ways to keep the blade secure. A friction guard lock holds the blade inside the sheath, and a nylon retaining strap snaps around the handle for extra security. The sheath is also salt water resistant, so the blade will not cut through if the sheath is submerged in salt water.
