New Union

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.

Just picked this little gem up. Pretty sure it is 1911-1923 vintage. Great snap, locks up tight. Just the tip of the smaller blade is broke off. Correct me if wrong, but I believe it is a cigar knife (?).

Nice looking knife. I think it might be a little small to be called a cigar. Depending on the size closed I think it would be called an equal end senator pen knife.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
