KA-BAR Dust II

Dust II - the younger brother to the Dust I. The Dust II has a 5.25" D2 steel blade, ergonomic handle, and black hard plastic sheath. The Dust II is a compact, durable fixed-blade knife featuring D2 tool steel and a glass-filled nylon (GFN) handle, designed for hard use in outdoor and tactical situations. It is the smaller companion to the KA-BAR Dust I and was introduced as a new product in 2025. 

Features:

• Durable Construction: The D2 tool steel blade is known for excellent edge retention and durability, while a coating provides extra protection against rust.
• Secure Grip: The GFN handle has a textured, non-slip surface, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip even in wet conditions.
• Versatile Design: Reviewers on Knivesandtools.com note its good balance and ergonomics, making it well-suited for a variety of tasks from field use to cutting vegetables, as it lacks a prominent finger guard that might limit the usable cutting edge.
• Compact and Robust: Despite being a robust, hard-use fixed blade, sources like Knifecenter.com mention it has a surprisingly lightweight feel.
• Convenient Carry: It comes with a sturdy hard plastic sheath that is MOLLE-compatible, offering safe and multiple carry options and quick access
