Durability, corrosion resistance, and predictable performance are non-negotiable for tactical knives carried in the field. The right fixed blade needs a finish and handle material that stand up to sweat, water, chemicals and hard use while remaining comfortable for extended tasks.

Design and Materials

The KA-BAR BIG BROTHER pairs a high-carbon, nonreflective black blade with an epoxy powdercoat that testing shows is more durable than traditional coatings. That finish delivers low-glare performance for tactical scenarios and resists abrasion and surface wear during repetitive utility tasks. The blade profile combines a serrated top edge with a straight bottom edge—ideal for cutting, sawing fibrous materials, and controlled slicing work.

Handle and Fit

Ka-Bar preserved the classic oval handle silhouette while modernizing the grip with Kraton G, a polymer noted for its resistance to sweat, chemicals, water and wear. The result is a comfortable, secure hold in wet or contaminated conditions without the need for aggressive texturing that can gouge clothing or gear.

Manufacturing and Practical Use

Tang-stamped USA and supplied with a leather sheath, the KA-BAR BIG BROTHER emphasizes domestic manufacturing and traditional construction. High-carbon steel offers edge retention and toughness; combined with the epoxy powdercoat, it balances ease of maintenance with battlefield durability. At a listed price of $118.79, it represents an accessible option for duty, survival kits, and outdoor professionals who value a heritage profile with modern materials.

Tactical Applications

The hybrid serrated/straight blade geometry makes this knife suitable for emergency cutting, cordage and strap work, and light wood or composite material tasks. Its low-reflective finish and stout construction also make it practical for security personnel and first responders who require a dependable, ready-to-use tool.
