The Gunny Knife from KA-BAR was designed by R. Lee Ermey, who was also known as “The Gunny.” This is the last project he worked on before his passing in 2018. Created to be used in any and all terrains and situations, the Gunny Knife is a durable and sturdy fixed blade.
The large spear point blade is made from 1095 Cro-Van steel with a black coating that reduces visibility and helps with wear and tear on the blade. The blade design allows it to perform well with both chopping and slicing tasks and makes a great outdoor companion. The ergonomic handle is made from Webb wood and provides a solid grip for heavy use. The Gunny Knife is proudly made in the USA and comes with a leather sheath.
