00:03.809 --> 00:06.099
The K bar knife basically born out of

00:06.110 --> 00:09.140
the necessity for a utility knife . Um

00:09.149 --> 00:11.205
The trench knives of World War One ,

00:11.205 --> 00:13.371
weren't really going to cut it for the

00:13.371 --> 00:15.260
battlefields of World War Two any

00:15.260 --> 00:17.371
longer . Uh Those are ultimately just

00:17.371 --> 00:19.205
fighting knives . Um There was a

00:19.205 --> 00:21.260
greater need for just an all purpose

00:21.260 --> 00:23.371
knife in general . So the K bar knife

00:23.371 --> 00:25.593
was developed by the president of K Bar

00:25.593 --> 00:27.482
knives at the time , as well as a

00:27.482 --> 00:29.538
Marine Corps captain whose last name

00:29.538 --> 00:32.029
happened to be America . So Captain

00:32.040 --> 00:34.207
America helped develop this knife with

00:34.207 --> 00:35.318
the United States .

00:38.790 --> 00:41.830
You look at all the other items and

00:41.840 --> 00:44.630
tools that soldiers carried . There's

00:44.639 --> 00:47.779
very few that hold affinity or a

00:47.790 --> 00:51.599
relationship like the K bar and

00:51.970 --> 00:52.029
wrangle .
