All About Pocket Knives

This is first Kabar knife that I own. I just received it in the mail today.
First thing I did is put a coat of oil on it, but it is a good condition knife.
Hope you like it.

Yes Sir! That is a Dog Head beauty for sure!!!

VERY nice! Any idea about it's age?

That is nice, and the etch is beautiful. I have gathered up a few of the newer Ka-Bar's, but none with that etch. I am hoping someone can provide some information on the newer knives? I know some are Ka-Bar Collectors Club knives, but some are not? I read in an old thread, that Queen made some models. Is that true? Some seem to be regular Ka-Bar model numbers, and some seem to be a new date code model?

This is a newer KA-BAR made by Queen. I have not seen one quite like it before. Maybe a club knife?

It has SBC92 on the back of the blade, Ka-bar on the front.
#116 on the bolster. Not sure if the 92 is part of the mod# or year it is made.
It had brown bone handles.,and the Union Cutlery Company etching.
There are no club markings on it. And it came without a box.
It it in very good condition,
I paid 47$ plus shipping. Not sure if I paid too much. But I though it was cool, and I have seen dog head Kabars go for a lot more than that.
I had been bidding on Case coke bottle folding hunters 050 series, seen this and put a bid on and won.

I think you got a deal. That is a lot of knife for $47!

Those are some great looking knives!

CobraBill,
Unless you paid $100.00 in shipping I'd say you got a heck of a deal!!!

I just picked this one up, I've been wanting a Ka-bar with the dog's head shield for a while now. Today seemed like the day. The dog looks pretty sassy to me!

That is a beauty. I thought it was black at 1st, but I think it is very dark brown?

Here is a better picture of the etch on the blade.

Very nice knife Redrider

That is a classy etch. I could do without some of the club etches etc. that a couple of mine have.

Got the knife on Saturday and it is gorgeous! It is a dark brown bone handle, perfect unsharpened condition, guess I'll call this one my ol' brown dog.

Great! Nothing is better when you get the knife & it's exactly what you wanted!

Well some day I hope you will have a greater day than that. I did.

The knife was Gorgeous Abalone but I even got a FREE one to go with it. After years of fun and trading here you may find a friend that adds a free knife with the trade and not tell you. Then its your turn to trade again and you stick in a FREE one for him. Thats even more fun then....

Good Ka Bars showing up...

This is my latest one. I just had to have it....

Just, That is a nice one! More bark on the stag than mine. I really like like that model. Silky smooth, and a nice size.

Thank you for your comment.

I find a pattern like this one blade locker makes a super knife to use and pocket friendly. Back in the days when I was young and did not take care of a knife (like I should have) and keep the blades share. It was helpfully to have 2 of 3 blades. Just to find a sharp one to use. Now that I am old I find a one blade sharp knife works like a tank if it has a lock. The lock is a bit safer and a sharp blade works easer... Some times we learn the older we get..
