Description

KAEK51: Ek Model 51 Drop Point

John Ek Commando Knife Co.

KA-BAR is excited to introduce the much anticipated John Ek Commando Knife Co. product, the Ek Model 51. This updated version of the occupational fighting knife is made from 1095 Cro-Van steel and features a black finished srop point blade measuring in at 5.06" in length. The textured Ultramid handles have four bevels that provide extra grip and are attached with traditional X-head fasteners and it has a small guard to prevent you from sliding forward onto the blade. The US-made Celcon sheath is a friction fit design with MOLLE compatibility and a belt loop. Every component of this knife is proudly made in the USA and this is both a great knife and a great value.

Excellent EDC
Glad I found this little gem. Ka-bar has done an admirable job in resurrecting the Ek brand. This Ek51 is a great EDC. The video preview is right on, it’s either a tactical Kephart or a very bushcrafty Ek Commando. The scabbard is excellent, not kydex but a tough plastic. It is configurable for left or right hand carry, or you can remove the belt loop completely and set up cross draw or scout carry. I really like this knife. Highly impressed, would buy again and recommend to anyone. Five stars.

Almost Returned...!
I thought it would have to go back; rivets where knife snaps into the sheath way too tight; took me better part of an hour to get the knife out of the sheath; impossible to get it out of the sheath while it is worn on the waistband! Poor quality control and design! You need a QC department that monitors your receiving! I will keep it because I like the knife, but you are wearing me out with these issues!
