KA-BAR History, Specs, Care-Of & Blueprint Paperwork

Post by New_Windsor_NY »

I was going through a box of my "junk" stuff and found this paperwork.
It came with the KA-BAR knife that I bought in the very late 80's, early
90's. It gives a brief history of the U.S.M.C. KA-BAR fighting knife, the
specifications, the construction blueprint & a care-of sheet. Thought
you might enjoy.

Thanks for posting. I wasn't in the military but I find that information fascinating to read.
