I just acquired my first KA-BAR “dog head”: a nice stag folding hunter, much like in previous posts, with both blades stamped.
My question is regarding the shield itself. There appears to be two different “dog shields”. One has a curved front ear-margin. The other type has a “straight” front ear-margin.
I’m a dog head “novice”. Experts please comment.
Thanks.

Great looking knife Rich. I wish I bought more of them when they were easily available and affordable. I only have one.

Thanks!

They used to be about $350 to $450 now it seems they run about $700-$800 ...

But they are absolutely the most wonderful dogs!

A, '' 3 Dog night ''. The hobo is a Union Cutlery. Note the absence of the KA-BAR lettering on the collar.
