If you have ever wondered how Ka-Bar got its name, then wonder no more. Not long after its introduction in the mid 20s, the Ka-Bar trademark was widely well known and respected. Many versions have gone about how it became to be called Ka-Bar, but all the evidence seems to point to a letter that was received from a fur trapper. His testimonial turned out to be the most significant the company had ever received. What he wrote in rough English was that his gun had jammed and he had to instead rely on his knife to kill a wounded bear that was attacking him. He wrote the letter thanking the company for their quality product that helped kill the bear and save his life. All that was legible of his scrawled writing was: k a bar. The company was so pleased and honoured by the fur traders letter that they adopted the phrase and used it as their trade-mark KA-BAR. 271 to choose from.
