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.

Notes: -

"Have you ever met a Yipper? You know a little dog that barks like the king of the prairie, but actually weighs less than a hamburger? A fierce puppy whose barking is worse than its bite! Here-I grew up in an area where coyotes yelp and howl at night. Their call is a bit eerie, perhaps frightening, but they are like those barking puppies: much ado about nothing. So when Igor Bortolussi of MKM asked me to design a knife, I started to design a knife that was a yipper: sharp teeth, but compassed appearance. An EDC knife that despite its name does what it's supposed to do and does it damn well!" - Ben Petersen
