A friend of my recently gave me this old Ka-bar trapper and after looking it over I could not find a model number of any kind or any number etc on any of the blades, Just Ka-bar.
I did a little research on tang stamps and the closest fit looks to be the 1955-1965 stamp, though it does not say stainless underneath Ka-bar on the knife I have, but Kabar is written the same way.
I was just wondering if anyone could give me a little info on the knife, any would be appreciated.

Re: Info on Older Kabar Trapper
I agree with you on the years, based on the Tang stamp charts here on AAPK. Can't help you other than to say that old gal has some great stag handles and somebody got their moneys' worth out of her! She qualifies as a HOK !

Thanks Treefarmer for the back up on the stamp and I agree she is beautiful and still has tons of life in her. Definitely gonna carry this one for years to come.
