KA-BAR Mark 98 Gets 2025 Sequel
KA-BAR has released a spiritual successor to the Mark 98, a flipper knife that has been in their lineup for several years.
The new model, called the Mark 25, features a refined design, different color scheme, and higher-performance blade steel.
- The Mark 98 was first released in 2018 as the first modern flipper folder by KA-BAR.
- The Mark 98 was notable for its sub-$100 price tag and humble material choices.
- The Mark 25 upgrades to D2 steel, replacing the 5Cr15MoV steel on the 98, for improved performance.
The D2 steel on the Mark 25 is an indisputable performance upgrade, and a particularly good fit for a mid-size cutter like the 25.
The Mark 25 has a 3.75-inch drop point, suitable for various tasks.
