Ka bar identification
I picked this up over the weekend. Didn’t pay much for it but for some reason I was drawn to it. Anyone know the pattern and possible age? Thanks

I guess it would have helped if I added the pictures. Knife is roughly 3 1/4” closed

Small swell end jack pattern, Delrin handles. No pattern # marked, so early to mid 1960's.
