Union Knifeworks NYC

Post by Whitneyrifle »

I posted this in the General knife forum, but I think this is more appropriate here:
I normally collect Ka-bar marked Union Cut Co. and early pre-model numbered Ka-bars. Looking around today, I did find a Union, but not the Union I expected! I couldn’t pass it up…..I know they are rare, but any experts out there have more input/info? ::hmm:: ::hmm::

You have to be trusted by the people that lie to you. So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in….

Goins encyclopedia lists that stamp: 1911 - 1913.

That's a good looking knife.
Congratulations on that one, Whitneyrifle. ::tu::
