KA-BAR

This is, I hope, a new future project for me ( and that's a BIG HOPE ). Was at the flea market yesterday and found this in a dollar box. The catch is, obviously, I need to find blades for it. The knife is an equal end KA-BAR, Jumbo Jack. I believe the pattern # is 2266J. If there is anyone who may have the main spear blade, and the pen blade for sale, I'd be interested in hearing from you . Thanks for your time, Dale H.

That's a pretty rare bird you have there Dale. Blades will be tough to find for it. I've been doing Kabar's folder repairs for a few years now (although someone else has taken them over for a few months for health reasons), and it's one I don't have. I'll double check in my book as to the model length and blade shapes, but don't get your hopes up. I will keep an open eye for the parts though and ask around for you. Best of luck! Those are a great old knife.

Thanks a lot Bob! Outside of the two most obvious parts needed, the rest of it is in immaculate condition. I don't have a clue as to how, perhaps, the pin was sheared and the blades lost . But it would be nice gettin' this ol' boy working again. Thanks again for your efforts Bob. Dale

How good is the bone on the reverse side? Picture

Dimitri, Hi! This is the other side you asked about. Excellent condition. Just missin' a couple of blades! Dale

Wow! Dale, that stag is awesome

I will keep an eye open for blades for you

Thanks Dimitri! I have this feeling that this will the proverbial " needle in a haystack " find. Thanks again. Dale
