The Red Spacer KA-BAR is arguably the most collectible KA-BAR Knife made during World War II. The distinct red spacer below the hand guard and above the leather washer has caught the eye of collectors for decades. Though originals are rare and expensive, KA-BAR’s State & Union shop has made a small batch of this iconic knife.
The leather washers are shaped by hand and dyed to create an aged appearance. The pommel is ground down to replicate the dimensions of the original. Each red spacer is hand made to be slightly longer than the current spacer used on KA-BAR Fighting/Utility Knives. The blade is worn blue finished. The sheath undergoes an ageing process to darken the leather and match the original sheath color.
PLEASE NOTE THE BLADE HAS A "USMC" STAMP
The new Red Spacer USN KA-BAR from the State & Union shop. KA-BAR's with a red spacer were some of the most collectible KA-BAR variants during World War II due to their scarcity. The Red Spacer USN features a smooth leather handle and iconic World War II-era "KA-BAR USN MK2" mark on the guard. The blade has a worn blued finish. Made with 1095 Cro-Van steel in the KA-BAR custom shop in Olean, NY.
