KA-BAR Knives produces high quality knives for hunting, fishing, recreation, military and law enforcement. Originally a Union Cutlery Co. trademark, KA-BAR rose to prominence with the introduction of the United States Marine Corps Fighting/Utility during the Second World War. Founded in 1898, the company is based out of Olean, NY. The Tactical Spork, which is made from food and water approved Grammid, is equipped with a fork/spoon combo and has a 2.5"" plastic serrated knife in the handle. The knife is accessed by pulling the spork in opposite directions from each extreme end. **Hint--avoid gripping the flat panel area in the middle of the Spork--this is actually part of its lock.
