Modernized Tanto Profile, Rugged Field Performance, Classic KA‑BAR Durability
The KA‑BAR 1266 Modified Tanto is a modern reinterpretation of a classic KA‑BAR blade shape, built from the company’s proven 1095 Cro‑Van steel for exceptional toughness and edge retention. Its 8" modified tanto blade offers reinforced tip strength and versatile cutting performance, making it well‑suited for field use, utility tasks, and outdoor applications.

The handle is constructed from Kraton G, a durable synthetic material designed to withstand harsh environments while providing a secure, comfortable grip. The knife includes a rugged glass‑filled nylon sheath for reliable carry and protection. Proudly made in the USA, the 1266 carries the USA 1266 tang stamp as a mark of its American craftsmanship.
