One of the most impressive knives I've managed to add to the pile recently. A KA-BAR large 5 3/8" folding hunter with a locking swing guard. The swing guard is also the blade lock and has a Dec 4th 1923 Patent date on it. The knife is mid 1920's to 1930 with KA-BAR Reg. US. Pat. Off. tang stamp front and Union Cut Co Olean NY stamp on back.

That 1st Schrade with the schrimshaw handles has a serial number, must have been a special run with the patriotic theme.
Glad you've got a good supply of folding hunters. ::tu::
