KA-BAR
The KA-BAR is a 7-inch fighting and utility knife first used by the US Marines in World War II, and carried into battle by generations of Marines since that conflict. The knife itself has a seven-inch (18 cm) blade and was originally designed as a hunting knife in 1898, and would have been considered unremarkable at that time.
