With a group shot of the booty from the Keystone Club knife show in Lewisberg, PA. back in 2018 or 2019.
I know the KA-BAR is not etched, but it is still worthy of this thread.
What do they call that KA-BAR pattern Barry? I've never seen it before

Here is an old Sears and Roebuck Sta Sharp etched jackknife, not the most intricate etch but I like the script a lot

Dan, That KA-BAR is known as a Sowbelly Jack Knife. They are hard to find. I've never seen another KA-BAR of this pattern although I'm sure they are out there. This one has a crack in the bone, but I bought it anyway.
By the way that is a beautiful Sta Sharp.
