Alright union guys, who can tell me above t this one?

The KA-BAR brand originated as a trademark of the Tidioute Cutlery Company. Tidioute was later taken over & renamed the Union Cutlery Company which continued making the brand until Union eventually adopted it as the company name in 1952. Cutco Corporation later acquired the company in 1996.

I saw the tang stamp and had to pick it up. Says Wardlow steel on the handles, which means 1095 carbon back at the turn of the century? Anyone who can tell me about it?
Thanks, Phil

That is a cool little knife, Union Razor made in Tidioute, PA. Predessor company to Union Cutlery before they were enticed to move to Olean, NY I think. Great pickup.
