This Ka-Bar 1217, made in 1991, is a commemorative knife designed to mark the 50th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This surprise attack, conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy, aimed to destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet and prevent a rapid response to Japanese expansion. The raid claimed the lives of about 2,400 people, including military personnel and civilians, and led the United States to enter World War II, declaring war on Japan the following day.

The Ka-Bar 1217, with its high-carbon steel blade and leather ring handle, has the same design as the legendary Ka-Bar knife used by U.S. soldiers during the conflict. The blade is engraved with the 50th anniversary logo and a symbolic image of Pearl Harbor, making the knife a collector's item and a tribute to the historical memory of the event. The Ka-Bar 1217 is not just a tool but a mark of honor and respect for the victims of the attack and the heroes who contributed to the victory of the United States during World War II.

Unlike the standard models, here we have engraving from the right side of the blade, hand-molded leather washers with an aged look, and even the scabbard is made like the 1940s models, with darker leather and steel staple points in addition to the traditional contrasting cream-colored stitching.

At 2:38 in the morning on the night between January 16 and 17, 1991, just 18 hours and 38 minutes after the expiration of the ultimatum set by the United Nations, Operation "Desert Storm," the largest allied military action since 1945, began.

In what would become the first conflict in history to be broadcast live on television, 90,000 tons of bombs would be dropped, marking a new point of no return for what was considered acceptable by global public opinion. The imagery that war helped create would lay the groundwork for the long series of Western military interventions in the Middle East in the years that followed.

PLEASURE OF USE

The introduction of PBL on QUIET gave him the opportunity to balance its proportions . The handle for 3 fingers and finger grooves give the grip strength . The new type of tooth wave , the edge with the outer radius and inner bevel , however , guarantee the accuracy Stillness of Use natural . Taken together, these features give the QUIETE a high ease of use.

HIGH LIGHT

The center of gravity of the knife is amazingly located in the area of the heart , central to the usual closable on the market . The amazing fact is that the handle with the PBL system weighs as much as the thin blade from 3mm filled with grinding . The straordinara lightness and solidity of QUIETE will give you an unforgettable experience .

SCREW ANTI-SLIP

In case you have the need to support the QUIET on the lives of the fulcrum , its design is great for a comfortable grip and non-slip . The increased size also deliver impressive structural stability to the knife . The focus of the screws and the whole industry are made with high-precision lathes with specific designs , in order to avoid games in the mechanism .

THE HOLE WITH WINGS WINGS PIVOT HOLE

This hole is introduced into the fulcrum knife nilte gives big advantages to the fluidity of movement of the blade. In fact, the seats are designed to be filled with lubricant in order to reduce the friction between the blade pivot and washers for smooth running at the highest levels .

CURVE LIFESAVER !

Nilte has introduced a new way of thinking about the pocket knife . The main concept is developed from which the design was the blade. The pocket knife would be useful in any occasion, for this reason, has been designed to QUIETE a blade sheepfoot . The main characteristic of this blade is in the fact of not having a sharp tip , but a curve that reaches the wire to decrease the risk of offending persons or damage objects accidentally .

SAFETY FIRST !

The closure of the knife with one hand is not always safe . At nilte has been studied a simple but effective solution , which is not imposed on the line and the functionality of the knife. As you can see , the blade has a ledge in the area prior to the wire , called the kick . This has the function , with the help of more advanced finger on the handle , to slow its closing stroke .

THE NAME
