7 blade Kabar Big Cigar

[CutleryCollector-com]

Are there any more of these Kabar multi- blade sportsman's knives out there? Did any American knife company make one with more blades in a traditional frame?

You can find these knives marked either KA-BAR or Case Tested XX with the KA-BAR marked ones more common. I believe those marked Case were made for Case by KA-BAR. I also think they have the most blades of any antique American pocket knife. Yours sadly has a broken blade, the screwdriver blade that had a prestolite key in it is broken.

Good eyes, Gene.

Still a very cool knife, thanks for posting it.

Can anyone post a picture of the original pretolite blade?

Sorry, prestolite key blade?

Sorry, prestolite key blade?

From Orvet (Dale Vincent): The Presto-Lites were the acetylene headlights on the early automobiles. My understanding is they worked kind of like a miners lamp, the key controlled the flow of water into a chamber where the calcium carbide produced acetylene when water was introduced to it. I think that is a very rough idea of how the early headlights work. The Presto-Lite key was how you turned your headlights off and on. Here's an AAPK thread on the subject: viewtopic.php?t=55488
