Handle Component Kit for Traditional KA-BAR

(2)
KA-BAR'S handle component kit consists of all the parts to rebuild your traditional KA-BAR handle, like the one on the world renowned USMC fighting/utility knife. Leather washers, spacers, hand guard, butt cap and pin included. A word of caution, these are raw materials. It still takes a little magic to get your refurbished handle to look like our famously oval-shaped one from the factory. You'll need equipment to compress the washers into place, shape them and color them. This task is not for the faint of heart, or the unskilled craftsman!

      • Perfect kit. I used a 1 inch benchtop belt sander to shape, and a dremel to cut grooves to match some of the originals that I was able to reuse. Total time to replace was about an hour

      • Just installed this kit onto a severely damaged 2nd model (peened pommel) WWII Ka-bar that had been abused by people throwing it, for years. While the steel parts survived despite this carelessness, the handle was beyond hope. As they say, installing these kits is NOT for the faint of heart! You must have reasonable restoration skills, and proper tools, to do this job correctly and safely... or know someone who does, or perhaps send to Ka-Bar and let them restore it if they offer such a service. I'm a 30+ year experienced restoration expert and this job took me about 6 hours to do, 2 hours of that time was spent just getting the pommel off without damaging the knife or its patina, for example. This kit restored the old thing beautifully! She's ready for another 80+ years :) Thank you KA-BAR for offering these kits!!! KA-BAR: The ONLY brand I trust! My WWII Grandfather and Korean War Father agree ;)
