Anyone ever see a KA-BAR Bearcat 238 ???
Re: Anyone ever see a KA-BAR Bearcat 238 ???
The Bearcat was a very early fixed blade offering for KA-BAR. It was made in both stag, 238 and wood 338 model. They are hard to come by but every once in a while one might come up on eBay. I have a 338 model with wood handle and original sheath.
Here is a picture of the 338 Bearcat.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
