NY." in 1923 began advertising this name on its knives after they received a handwritten letter from a fur trapper, who had used one of their knives to kill a wounded bear which had attacked him after his rifle jammed. The letter was only partially legible; "ka bar" could be read, as fragments of the phrase "kill a bear" In 1923, the company adopted the name Ka-Bar as its Trademark from the "Fur Trapper's Bear story." Due to the popularity of the name, and the role the knife played in WWII, In 1952 Dan Brown and the Directors, officially changed the name to KA-BAR Cutlery, Inc.
