Ka-Bar Jarosz Turok KA7503 handle scales
In 2020–2021, Ka-Bar expanded its designer collaborations with custom knifemaker Jesse Jarosz (Jarosz Knives), whose family heritage in woodworking and carpentry influenced his rugged, practical designs. Following successful Jarosz models like the Globetrotter and Camp Turok, the Ka-Bar Jarosz Turok (model KA7503) debuted around late 2021 (with availability noted in 2022 catalogs and dealer releases) as a massive, versatile survival knife and bushcraft chopper
The Ka-Bar Jarosz Turok KA7503 features a 6.25-inch clip-point blade (1.563" wide, 0.188" thick) in tough 1095 Cro-Van carbon steel (USA-made) for exceptional chopping, slicing, batoning, and durability in harsh conditions. Weighing ~12 oz with 11.5-inch overall length, it boasts textured brown Ultramid handles for secure grip, full-tang construction, and a friction-fit Celcon sheath—ideal for heavy field tasks, survival knives, camping knives, and tactical fixed blades
Priced ~$140–$160 MSRP, it earned praise for imposing size, balanced performance, and Jesse Jarosz's signature no-nonsense style—solidifying Ka-Bar's reputation for reliable, designer-driven hard-use knives and Jarosz's growing legacy in premium outdoor tools
The scales are compatible with various modifications of the Jarosz Turok model:
- Ka-Bar Jarosz Turok KA7503
- Ka-Bar Jarosz Camp Turok KA7511
