North American outline stamps

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.

North American outline stamps

Post by Scootch »

I'm not sure if the NA outline stamp is more rare than the arched stamp but the NA is my favorite. I believe the concensus is this stamp was primarily used during the 19teens. There is the opinion this stamp could have been used while Union was still producing knives in Tidioute.
