This is a great piece of collectible vintage cutlery by the much coveted KA-BAR/Union Cutlery co. This, not often seen, sportsman pattern is in fine shape with crack free onyx celluloid handles embossed on the front with “Sportsman.” The master blade is full and snappy with light pitting and patina and marked KA-BAR, although the stamp is week and partially missing. The condition of the fork is likewise and is stamped Union Cutlery Co, Olean, NY, USA. Some pitting on the backspring which could be professionally removed should you choose but otherwise a sound specimen of a fairly uncommon knife. 5-3/8” closed. Additional pictures are available upon request.
