KA-BAR #1317 “Dog’s Head Fighting/Utility Knife”

The KA-BAR Dog’s Head Fighting/Utility Knife is a modern tribute to one of the earliest KA-BAR military-style knives, combining the legendary performance of the classic USMC fighting knife with unique Dog’s Head markings and premium craftsmanship. Proudly made in Olean, New York, this knife features a 7-inch 1095 Cro-Van carbon steel clip point blade with KA-BAR’s durable black epoxy powder-coated finish, stacked leather handle, and heavy-duty leather sheath. 

This example is in excellent, like-new condition and includes the original factory box, paperwork, and leather sheath. The blade retains its factory finish with no visible signs of use, while the stacked leather handle and sheath remain equally clean. The sheath features the distinctive skull-and-crossbones embossing exclusive to the Dog’s Head series. Whether you’re a military collector, outdoorsman, or KA-BAR enthusiast, this is an outstanding example of one of the company’s most desirable production models.
