Kabar 1019

Post by Trapperxx »

Hi guys, just recently picked up a few knives, kabar 1019, 1058 and a couple of case knives. Whats really fascinating with 1019, the handle has turned to some sort of muddled brown color, far from the original look it had. Also curious as to what year it is from as well. The smaller blade has a bit of pitting on it, maybe some sort of gunk on the blade itself. Over all, not bad for $10 even still. Blades still have a nice edge. Any info i can get is much appreciated!
