Overall length of this Mk2 is 12 inches, with a 7 inch clip point blade. The marking on the blade ricasso is just KA BAR. The Mk2 Knife was developed as an improvement over the Mk1 design, which had issues with blade snapping due to the thinner design. Working with Union Cutlery, USMC Colonel John M. Davis
