I asked this in the Ka-bar forum also, but wanted to spread the question. Does anyone know what year Ka-bar started producing locking swing blade knives with the swing guard? I can’t seem to find the info I’m looking for and defer to all of you for help.

Re: Ka-bar Swingblade
Not sure when but it was in the very early Union Cutlery days. There is one pictured in the c. 1912-1923 in the catalog reprint I have. Gunsil might know better.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
