All About Pocket Knives

I am sure that this has been asked a million times but I am new here and I have a question about the stamps on a Kabar that I picked up. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Here ya go! Your knife was made sometime during or after the 1970s. According to the information in these posts from the Tang Stamps thread here, that’s when they started stamping the pattern number between Kabar and U.S.A.

Gunsil found a no model number fixed blade on fleabay with 1968 paperwork confirming that 1969 was the earliest possible date that Kabar could have started putting model numbers on its knives.

The 1063 discontinued in 1978. So 1970 to 1978 on the knife, with an outside chance of 1969 being the earliest date.
