I.D. Help

The KA-BAR brand originated as a trademark of the Tidioute Cutlery Company. Tidioute was later taken over & renamed the Union Cutlery Company which continued making the brand until Union eventually adopted it as the company name in 1952. Cutco Corporation later acquired the company in 1996.

You have a well worn model 572 dating 1945-1947 or 48. Blade was originally 4&1/2" and a bit wider.
