KA BAR hobo

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.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

There are also other threads here about them. Here in the Ka-bar forum just put “hobo” into the search box and press enter.

For example here’s one I have that you’ll find there. viewtopic.php?f=78&t=57825
