Another hard to find KA-BAR. 5 1/8" closed. Smooth black handles.

A unique frame and bolster like no other.

Were these bolsters called door hinges or do I have this mixed up with something else?

Ed "Kookie" Burns might have carried this next to his comb. 8)

Yeah Joe, you're close. They're called barn door hinge bolsters. Usually seen on the smaller KA-BAR knife that is very similar and were etched "Pirate Switch".
