The company says law enforcement made the first contact after the Nov. 13 quadruple murder and asked KA-BAR to identify the sheath … and KA-BAR confirmed it was one of theirs.
KA-BAR says they don’t have any records of someone using the name Bryan Kohberger to purchase a knife sheath or any other products directly from them.
We’re told the KA-BAR knife that would fit the sheath found at the crime scene is a 7-inch utility knife, which is traditionally used as a tool. The company says it’s been making the knife since World War II, and it can be used for hunting and small tasks around a campsite … like chopping firewood or cutting wire and rope.
Police are still on the hunt for the murder weapon … visiting stores in the Pullman area that sell KA-BAR knives … hoping to tie a purchase to Kohberger.
