|quotetext=Pronounced "Kay-Bar", the KA-BAR is the ur-example of the multipurpose fighting knife, as useful for combat as it is for utility purposes. The origin of the name is unknown - it is theorized that the first knife of its type was engraved with the words "'''K'''ill '''A''' '''B'''e'''AR'''" but that most of the letters faded over the years, leaving only KA-BAR. Although they are very common and quite popular, they are also symbolic of a particular breed of fighters, the sort that is capable of taking a knife to a gunfight, and come out winning. For this reason, the Maze Military issues these knives to newly promoted Captains, as a status symbol and a testament of their strength and leadership. Such knives are sometimes engraved with the name of its recipient, to distinguish them from regular, commercially available knives.|quoteauthor=Tempest
