german ka-bars

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.

german ka-bars

Post by chetr1200c »

were any of the ka-bars/kabars knives made in germany? if so, why aren't they stamped as so? i have a few people sell kabars that they claim were made in germany, but nothing else indicates this on the knife. so how can a person really know?..thanks for any help,, chet

The one Kabar that I've come across with a Germany stamp is a serving fork. I'm no expert but I do look closely at every Kabar knife, steel, stone, sheath, fork, spoon, potato masher, etc... that I come across. This is the only one found from Germany.

a german serving fork is a distinct possibility since Randall even has large serving forks made in germany today.--HiPower
