Early Union shield

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.

Early Union shield

Post by 58chevy348 »

This early Union "bomb" shield came in a lot of parts knives today. Wish the whole knife was here, but it's just the shield attached to a damaged scale.

Nice shield. The shield doesn't show much wear. Too bad the rest of the knife didn't fare as well. Union made some might fine knives in my opinion.
