Ka-Bar is an American knife manufacturer founded in 1898 as the Tidioute Cutlery Company in Tidioute, Pennsylvania, and reincorporated in Olean, New York, under Wallace R. Brown in 1911. The Ka-Bar name originated from a fur trapper's letter describing using one of the company's knives to kill a wounded bear. In 1942 the company produced the USMC Mark 2 Combat Knife, a 7-inch carbon-steel fighting-utility blade with stacked leather handle, adopted by the Marine Corps and Navy during World War II. Ka-Bar still manufactures the Mark 2 alongside outdoor, law-enforcement, and EDC knives. Supreme's Ka-Bar collaboration used the Mark 2 form.
