And yes, most people think it's an adjustable wrench.

That is on my list of KA-BARs that I still need to add to my collection I have handled them, very comfortable, compact, sturdy and useful for one's EDC needs... now I just need to find a used one at a fair price....

Fellers, is this KA-BAR a current production or an older knife?

It is also similar to the "Becker Necker" neck knife, similar in size, use, purpose, etc... etc... I like the "Becker Necker" neck knife, which is a great EDC light carry fixed blade.

Thanks for the responses.
When Ken mentioned the knife fitting nicely in his bibs, that got my attention. His bibs and my bibs may be a different thing considering the location and weather differences.
Even though I'm not a fan of tacticals, I find them to be very handy in the breast pocket of bib overalls and a small, fixed blade might work just as well.
Just thinking.

Thanks, Ivory, I enjoy seeing your EDCs as well.

This is not Goldenrod Camel bone, but here is one of my Northfields.

Ike, beautiful old Excelsior you have.

Harold

Thank you, Harold, I appreciate that.

I've always wanted one of the butter/molasses Schrades, especially one that wasn't gassing out....

Nice ones, Ike and Scott.

That is a killer old beauty. Any idea the age? Sweet patina and beautiful lines, wood, shield. Nice background of attractive leaves too. Gorgeous.

Another sweet fixed. You have some great horn in your pile, love seeing them catch the light and glow.

Very nice colors, cool old knife. Always interests me why some celluloid outgasses and shrinks and some doesn't? Fickle material.

This 3.5" Case Stockman appealed to me due to its smooth red scales.

All I know is what Goins says, without looking it up, I think the date range for these is 1860 to very early 1900s.

Nice knife, Garry!
