Why not?

I asked if we might try a Kabar Forum and here it is! I know a lot of folks love the old Dog's Heads and from those early days of Union Cutlery to today, they remain popular. My reason for asking for a Kabar Forum is because of all the old slip-joints I see. They've held up well. Here's one I posted on another thread, but it's an oldie that needed restored with new Christmas Tree scales and a bit of clean up.

Nice knife.

I have one Kabar. I can't remember when I got it, but it is a 4 blade camp type knife. I haven't been able to find any information on it. Once I get things together I am goig to take some pictures of my inventory.

Good job Bob! Kathy and I were just talking about starting a Ka-Bar picture thread, but this is much better!

Sorry, this is Bret, with Kathy logged in....

I can't decide which of these 2 is my favorite.

[Elvis]

A couple of real beauties Bret! I'm not sure I could pick a favorite either. Let's call it a tie.

I can't decide which of these 2 is my favorite.

They are both my favorite. Is the second one the size of a Remington 1123?
Nice knives I have one like the first with the folding guard.

[Bret888]

Stockman, yes it is the same as an 1123. I have a sad old 1123, and the handle scales and tang stamps are the only visible difference.

This is my one and only Kabar. I can't remember when I got it or how old it is. I'm thinking late 70's early 80's. I just dug it out of an old tool box and have some upkeep to do. The photo leaves a lot to be desired.

Isaac's Grandpa,

Thanks for posting it! I just wanted to say to AAPK!

[Toejammer]

Finally a Kabar forum !! Heres a few of my decent ones....

[philco]

My collection is a bit lean on the Kabars but here is one I do have.

No tang stamp but has a faint blade etch that says "Ka-Bar" over 479 USA.

Wooden handled lockback 5 5/8 in. closed length.

Dog Head, was rubbing a pencil lead on some spots. I’ve had this knife for years, maybe it has been posted earlier. Harold

Way to bring it back alive Harold.

I've got several Kabars but have never landed one of the beautiful ones with the dog head.
Stockman, that's a fine one!

Dog Heads are cool.

[FRJ]

What a beautiful knife!

[Mumbleypeg]

I think this is the only dog head in my collection.

Really nice one Ken, looks to be unused !

[stockman]

Ken that one is really nice. Harold

[Mumbleypeg]

Thanks! Not sure how much use it has seen. It has signs of having had some patina. It’s been lightly buffed but the blade and fork are 99+% full. The spoon is not the same metal, or possibly plated, with no sign of tarnish or use. I’m happy to be its current caretaker!

It's in good hands now.
Nice knife, Ken.
