Picked up this box because I thought it was cool. Can anyone tell me what a 6356 is?
Thanks Keith

Re: KA-BAR 6356
All I found in Houston Price's book is: 6=bone stag, 3=number of blades, 56=pattern number. He says 3-1/4", no picture or pattern description.
Maybe a 'cattle"??? Good luck.

That box is in great shape and lots of character in the printing. Perfect display.
Re: KA-BAR 6356
Box is 1952 or newer.

I thought it was neat the metal clips on the corners. Thanks for the info ridgegrass
Re: KA-BAR 6356
Keith, they used the same box pattern post war, but the earlier ones say KA-BAR over Union Cutlery Company, they changer their name to KA-BAR Incorporated in 1952.

6356 is a 3 1/4" stockman pattern.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

The Official Guide to Collectors Knives Eighth Edition by James Parker is a good source. C. 1985Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 7:09 pm Wayne, Where can one find those pattern numbers? Thanks, J.O'.
