I picked up this KA-BAR at a recent gun show. It is my first KA-BAR, I really like the look of the scales. I wasn't finding any good reference sites online so I was hoping someone here could tell me more about it. It measures 3 1/4 inches closed. The main blade is marked KA-BAR. There are no other blade markings.

Thanks,

Ronnie

That knife appears to have stag handles, pretty unusual.

I have a little Kabar stag jack and recently sold a Kabar folding hunter with some of the prettiest stag I have seen.
Kabar used to make knives with some of the nicest stag on them, but I think that ended when Cole National bought them (1966) , and possibly before that time.
