  Product Information
The KA-BAR Iwo Jima Knife was created to honor the men who fought on the island of Iwo Jima. The illustrated KABAR Iwo Jima Knife is the US Navy version with a 7" Clip Point
Clip Point
Clip Point Blade: A blade on which the back line breaks and slants downward to produce a finer and more useful point. Also, a blade format where the top of the blade has a cutout (or "clip") at the top of the blade. The cutout is either concave or straight. Clipping the blade brings the point of the knife lower, for control. It also makes the tip sharper. Since the sharp point is one of the goals of this format, the clip is often accompanied by a false edge. This format is often combined with a good-sized curving belly, for slicing ability. The combination of a controllable, sharp point and plenty of belly makes the clip point an excellent all-around format.
blade made of 1095 cro-van carbon steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 56-58. The blade has a non-reflective black epoxy powder coat, blood grooves, pad printed Iwo Jima logo, and US Navy Tang
Tang
The tang is the part of the knife where the blade stops and the handle starts. There are many different terms used to describe what kind of tang a knife has, because the strength and other characteristics of the knife depend on the tang format.

A full tang knife has a tang that goes the length of the handle at full width, and you can see the tang spine itself because the handle slabs are afixed to each side. This is the strongest tang format.

To save weight, the maker can taper the tang so it gets thinner as it goes back into the handle; this is appropriately enough called a tapered tang.

If the tang disappears into the handle itself, it's called a hidden tang.

If the tang thins out considerably once it goes into the handle, it's called a stick tang.
 stamp. The stacked leather washer handle has a black metal Pommel
Pommel
Butt Cap / Pommel: The pommel refers to the end of the handle of a knife. Many knives have a metal cap over the pommel, called a butt cap. Often the pommel is interesting because of a decoration; however, there are different forms of working pommels.
 andGuard
Guard
Hand Guard: The guard is a barrier between your hand and the sharp edge. It will project out of the handle, to stop forward motion of your hand. The guard can be a separate component that is soldered or pinned on the blade, or an integral design element that can be formed by including a projection on the blade blank itself. On some fighters, the guards are meant not just to protect your hand from sliding up on the blade, but also to provide protection from the opponent's blade sliding down your blade and onto your hand.
. The Iwo Jima US Navy Knife comes complete with a brown genuine leather KA-BAR Sheath
Sheath
A method for carrying a knife, tool, light, etc., on your belt, pack or anywhere a strap is. Sheaths are made of ballistic nylon, leather, kydex and various other materials. Sheaths usually come with a Velcro or snap closure.
