Modern KaBar Pics

[Bret888]

I am starting a new thread, instead of hijacking Cobrabills even more.
When "modern" starts, really doesn't matter to me. Maybe when the hyphen in Ka-Bar was removed?
Post whatever you have!

I really like that striped coke bottle, they all are nice knives.

Nice line-up! Any idea on the age of the Dog's Head Whittler? It looks similar to the frame on one Parker had made at one time.

thanks Elvis , that was made in 1990

Those are beauties! I have never seen most of them before. I hope more people post pictures of these. I looked at LG4's list of club knives, and there are a lot more than I realized they made.

I've got a few Kabars, but it will take a bit of sunshine and time to get them conglomerated into a photographic holding pen to secure their likeness, if you know what I mean.

[Bret888]

I will be looking forward to it Joe!

sweet! love the gunstock pearl never seen that one before

Those are great Bob! Where you a member of the Kabar club while it was in existence? I just wonder if they had all the models available, or a few a year, with an annual knife, or what? Do you know what Queen made? Did they make any in house? Just general info on the club, since I didn't care about knives at that point in life....

Brett , I'm sorry , but I know very little about KA-BARs . These knives are the remnant of a KA-BAR collection that I bought from the estate of a friend / fellow knife club member after his passing last year . He probably had one of the most extensive KA-BAR collections in the country , but he had been selling it off for several years before he passed . The KA-BAR Club closed up shop the year after I joined !

anyone got a guess on this one im thinking its queen made from looking at it fit and finish is great no cracks in yellow and blades align perfectly probably only newer stockman ive had that the blades didnt rub the box is unique and thought i would be able to date it by that but nothing yet thanks troy

I'd say the modern era started when Cole took over Kabar - late 70's early 80's. And I have a mess of em

[trail]

Here is a Kabar rigger I just picked up along with a Camillus. There is no doubt in my mind who made this Kabar.

[Toejammer]

Looks like a match, Trail. When did Ka-bar start farming out ?

[Miller Bro's]

They are close, but not an exact match.

The bails/lanyards are different
