Here is a Kabar coke bottle FH.
Anyone know the age of this one?
Appears to be delrin handles.

Re: Kabar folding hunter
No model number under Kabar = pre-1966.
Delrin handles = 1961 or later.
If the handles are some other plastic than Delrin, e.g., celluloid, phenolic, etc, post 195x (whenever KABAR became Kabar then 195x to 1960.
The year the stamp change was made eludes me right now and I'm not at home to look it up.

I have read 1951, but I can't verify that.zzyzzogeton wrote: The year the stamp change was made eludes me right now and I'm not at home to look it up.

Re: Kabar folding hunter
Checking my notes, according to the Kabar guru, gunsil, Kabar is post-1952, i.e., 1953 and onwards.
