I got into an argument with someone on how to prounce this company's name. Can anyone out there enlighten me on the actual way to pronouce this Ka Bar Kaa Bar?
 
Some people spell Ka Bar as K-Bar. Guess what that should sound?
 
Well, as urban legend has it, the company got it's name from a letter sent to praise one of their knives for its invaluable assistance in "Killing a Bear". As the handwritten scrawl and bad grammar should have it, it looked like Ka Bar was written on paper, intending to mean "Kill (a) Bear" so perhaps it might be a bit of trivia as well as historical recognition to know that KaBar actually means "Kill a Bear"...
