i have always wanted a ka-bar doghead knife. an original would be nice. til then this 4 1/8" repro trapper will do. don't know who the contract went to, but the fit and finish is superb. great jigging and the blades were actually sharp out of the box. might have to get the swinguard too!

Johnnie, beautiful knife! Those were done by Canal Street Cutlery. They also did the swing guard and the fixed blade. I've been fighting the urge to snag one (due to this lousy economy!) but I think my addiction is getting the best of me, they're just too nice to pass up!

wow! i guess gary music thought my little doghead trapper might get lonely. so he sent this old ka-bar beater to keep it company. guess i need a bigger doghouse(not for me)
big old 5 1/4" hunter. i'm blown away by his generosity. thanks gary.

WOW that sure is a super knife to give away.
I have been working on Dog-Heads ever since I received one from Sauconian.
Just some thing sweet about them DOGs. I love the nail nicks. Like many of the BullDOGs have.

It was my pleasure Johnnie. The old dog was a little lonely around here.
