Great - thanks for the information!Mason wrote:The Large "Grizzly" is shown in the circa 1925 Ka-Bar reprint catalog (and following Ka-Bar catalogs) and was available for sale at least up through 1940. It was not produced again by Ka-Bar after WWII.

Re: KABAR Grizzly
I think they started making them in the mid 1920s, but I don't know when they stopped the production. Maybe some other forum member can provide more information?edge213 wrote:Wow, incredible knife. How old is it.

H. Boker's Improved Cutlery
I've been trying to find some more information on this stamp: H. Boker's Improved Cutlery. I hope someone here on the forum can help. It's a 13 blade/tool knife. Not sure how old it is and whether it was made in the US or in Germany. And what is that 'hawkbill-looking' blade for?

A while back I posted pictures of a bunch of rusty old folders made by Imperial, Camillus, and Robeson. I never thought it would be possible to use any of them due to their condition.

A friend of mine sent me these pictures and asked me if I knew anything about this knife - about the company, how old it was, and potential value. I have no idea, maybe someone can help me out?
