Hello all, need help with the ID of this Ka-Bar 2-3/4” pen knife. No shield, small bolsters and black jigged scales. Not much to go on but that’s all I have. A nice well used little carry around for the small stuff. Would the blades be considered spear point or something else? Thanks, Jim

Looks like a standard pen knife.
Bolsters are referred to as "tip" bolsters.
The main blade was possibly a long spear point blade.
The shorter blade is referred to as the "pen" blade.

It is what is referred to as a "senator pen" . It probably had a long pen and a short pen blade with jigged black composition handles . Most likely produced in the late 1930's - late 1940's according to the tang stamp .

Thanks for the answers. Would the small bolsters also be called "equal end"?
