1979 #9 in Series 1 of 500

The 2nd knife of 1979 is a Giant Jack or Jackknife with genuine stag handle's and stag seems to be a popular handle material on alot of the early knive's as all can tell. 1979 saw the release of 6 club knive's and was the 1st year of the Yearly CK Knive's (see Yearly CK Knive's Post) for more photo's.

#11 knife a stag handle canoe noted as #1020 with production of 915 knive's

1979 #12 and #13 knive's in Series

Both the 401 and 402 are some of the hardest to find in this series as the limited production of both knive's was just 629 total knive's and probably some of Ka-Bar's best work IMO as these knive's are just amazing.

#12 knife noted as #401 being a big folding hunter with genuine Ivory Handle and a great looking knife production of 331 knive's
#13 knife noted as #402 being a 5" folding hunter with Pearl Handle another great knife with a production of 298 knive's

1980 #15 knife in Series 1 of 806

2nd knife of 1980 is a pearl handled congress or some will refer as 1/2 congress being only 2 blade's again a great little user with a serialized # this being #0232

1980 #16 Knife 1 of 585 knive's

The 3rd knife of 1980 is a sweet Genuine India Stag handled 1189 with brass engraved bolster's and a 440 mirror polished blade. The 1189 being one of Ka-Bar's best selling pattern's since being introduced in 1973 with wood handle's as a Competitive knife to the buck 110 both similar in size and both having a very sturdy lockback. This knife is a real beauty as stag seems to be a favorite for the user as well as the collector I really like this one as all 585 produced and bought must be a favorite to most who collect or use. Just can't bring myself to use this one to pretty I wish they would make one not so nice with some stag and same frame that could be used and carried. Sorry forgot to mention this one came with a nice blue velvet pouch in the box I quess someone at Ka-Bar liked this one also.

1980 #17 in Series, Last knife of Series for 1980 Very Limited 6 of 100

Ask and you Shall recieve, this is my favorite knife from the club releases. Carry, Show, EDC, the last knife of 1980 being a 1199 Lockback Sambar Stag Folder and They are 1 of only 100 made, one of the least amount run from the Ka-Bar Club. This knife caught my eye the first time I saw it a 5" folder with a 4" Blade 440 mirror polished after the 1189 that has been in Production since 1973, throw on some stag handle's and there you go 1 GREAT KNIFE (IMO) If looking for this knife you must get the one that has Stainless 3/80 on opposite side of blade from the 1199 as Kabar did release alot of stag 1199's
