A few of my KA-BAR's

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.

The two bottom Dog's Heads are likely from the 1930's or slightly earlier.The hobo has both the KA-BAR and Union Cutlery Co stamps.The stag Dog's Head above them is a 1977 model I bought new at a flea market for $25.
The faux stag one I bought new around 1980. The stag model above it I bought at a yard sale last year for $20.The one above that I bought last weekend for $15 and has the old style large letter stamp and match striker nail mark.
The ones on the side are a 1990 Collector's Club knife and on the other side an older one that had cracked ice handles that had outgassed so I replaced them with black plexiglass handles and jigged them with a Dremel fitted with a small ball mill.
