LONG DESCRIPTION

The KA-BAR 3071 Mark 25 Pocket Knife is built with D2 tool steel — a battle-proven material known for strength, edge retention, and cutting performance. Originally used in cutting tools since WWII, D2 remains a top-tier choice for those needing a blade that holds its edge through rigorous tasks.

This model is ideal for users who prefer the reliability of traditional materials blended with practical carry options. Note that while D2 steel is highly durable, it is not completely stainless. Routine care, such as drying the blade after use and occasional oiling, is recommended to prevent rust or discolouration.
