Re: Ka-Bar Made by Canal Street
Anyone know if this Ka-Bar folding hunter was made by Canal Street? I can't seem to find any information on this 0983 number stamped on the pile side of the mail blade. Could it mean it was made in September 1983 or is it a pattern number?

Thanks for your reply, Airborne, that's what I'm hoping for.

Re: Ka-Bar Made by Canal Street
Definitely not Canal Street. Maybe Queen? I know they had a similar pattern to that but not sure if they ever did the grooved pulls.
I'm 95% sure it's Queen though.

Re: Ka-Bar Made by Canal Street
Hey Eric, What year were these made? I just bought a Barlow, hasn’t arrived yet, but I am curious about the year of production on these Coppersmith knives.ea42 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 4:15 am Yep, that was made by Canal Street. We made the smaller pinch lockback and that larger squeeze lockback for them as well as a drop point sheath knife, a barlow, a trapper, and a single blade trapper. All had the copper bolsters. As far as I know Canal Street was the exclusive builder of that Coppersmith line.
Eric
Thanks

Re: Ka-Bar Made by Canal Street
Thanks for all the good info in this post. Here are 3 of the 4 kabars mentioned earlier. Don't have the elephant toe. Wish I did.

Re: Ka-Bar Made by Canal Street
Got this Barlow Coppersmith in today. Bought it right here on AAPK from Brent at LuvStag. I had been outbid on one just the day before he posted this one for sale in his store. I couldn’t move fast enough to get this one. I love the mirror polished backsprings. That’s a feature that really sets a knife off for me.

I have the fixed blade without the dog head shield. Was this made by Canal Street Cutlery too?ea42 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 4:15 am Yep, that was made by Canal Street.

Re: Ka-Bar Made by Canal Street
I just picked up two Coppersmiths - the small "pinch" lockback and the fixed blade.
Does anyone know the steel type used on these?
