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.

The Flipper version of the famous TDI Ka-Bar knife is perfect for everyday use. The stainless steel blade with Spear Point profile opens easily with the Flipper system or through the slot on the blade. The sturdy Crossbar lock, accessible from both sides, ensures stability and safety during use.

GLOBAL Japanese knives are the favourite of chefs in the world's most prestigious hotels and restaurants.

In the late 1980s, Walter Fortunato designed and built the stopper sealing system that has made Waf famous throughout the world. The Block Waf System© still represents the most ingenious invention for preserving the precious characteristics of newly uncorked sparkling wines over time. The patent, applied in many items in the stoppers line, follows Pascal's principle that pressure exerted on a fluid is transmitted in all directions with equal intensity. By applying Pascal's principle to the bottle, the elastic teat goes to adhere to the inner wall of the mouthpiece. The head gasket with which the teat is fitted tends to rest against the top edge of the bottle, creating an initial obstacle to the escape of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide, again due to Pascal's principle, enters the teat through the hole below and as the pressure increases it goes to expand against the glass wall thus creating a state of overpressure inside. The external fixing bracket is designed to counteract the vertical thrust that the stopper receives and thus ensures its tightness, which has been tested up to 6 atmospheres.

Equipped with -Block WAF SYSTEM © with certified seal over 6 ATM.

MATERIAL: High-carbon chrome-plated steel. Plastics certified for food contact

COLOR: Gold

SIZE: 4.5 x 4.0 x 6.2 cm
