The Ka-Bar US Army Fighting Knife has a 7-inch black 1095 Cro-Van clip point blade with a partially serrated edge at 11.875 inches overall, a brown stacked leather handle and a leather sheath.
The serrations are what separate this from the plain edge version. They run along the section nearest the handle where the hand pushes hardest, and they saw through rope, webbing and strapping that a plain edge slides off. The plain section toward the tip is kept for the controlled cutting a serrated edge does badly.
Stacked leather is washers of leather threaded onto the tang and compressed, giving a handle that warms in the hand, grips when damp and wears in over decades. 1095 Cro-Van is Ka-Bar's carbon steel with chromium and vanadium added, tougher than plain 1095 and holding an edge better.
