Mini Ka-Bar

This Mini Ka-Bar–inspired knife reinterprets a classic military silhouette through a compact, studio-built form. Fully inspired by the original Ka-Bar structure, the design is simplified and scaled down for versatility, making it ideal for everyday carry or discreet boot carry.

The blade is forged from high-performance 1095 steel and finished with a professional black oxide coating. Beneath the dark finish, a subtle hamon line emerges under close inspection, adding quiet depth and character to the blade. The knife features a traditionally structured guard and pommel, maintaining the integrity of the original design while refining its proportions.

The handle is constructed with a classic stacked leather design, enhanced by an “Andreas” signature flare — custom color-fused spacers that introduce a modern contrast without disrupting the knife’s heritage. Designed to fit naturally in the hand, this piece balances comfort, control, and visual restraint.

Paired with a custom-fitted leather sheath designed for belt carry or boot concealment, this Studio Collection piece blends tradition, functionality, and contemporary craftsmanship in a compact, purpose-driven form.
