The Kabar Collector Yearly CK Knives

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.

The Kabar Collector Yearly CK Knives

Post by nutoknives »

Hello everyone This is new post as to show the yearly Kabar Collector's Knives (CK)
This has been a task to say the least but just recieved last CK knife in mail so here we go.
Starting with LAST collector's Knife Year 2005, 30th Anniversary Commemortive as this is year Kabar ended the collector's club and I will work backwards as they limited production of their CK knives as the club was comming to an end. This is 1 of 110 a USMC Gun-Blued blade with gold and silver leafing with the 4 names of the company as it started and changed hands over the years. The knife came with a very nice Walnut display box and in new condition (THANKS JOE) with lock key always a good idea hope you enjoy the pictures and please forgive me I usually like to take photo's outside but (rainning). I will try to post the 2004 knife shortly but have some digging to do hope you all enjoy and Thanks for taking a look.
