Grizzly and baby Grizzly

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.

Very nice! I’ve never seen one in the flesh. It’s probably a good thing though. I’d most likely rust it from all the slobbering I’d do if I actually saw one.

Absolutely stunning
You have to be trusted by the people that lie to you. So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in….

Actually there were 3 sizes of auto griz produced by Kabar. The large size and a smaller size in winterbottom bone there also was a rare and often forgotten smaller third. size. (see Mark Ericksons book American switchblades pg 82 ). I am posting pics of a display case with all three of these originals. Also either beneath or aside are 3 custom versionsThat I had done before I could afford the real thing.I never expected to find a 3rd size but recently I got the opportunity. Also in this display are 5 KA BAR side levers. the sixth is a Henkels. Also a rare dogshead side lever. blade on the Also it should be noted that the original blade on the third size needed re. replacment. This was done to exact original spec Also there is a schatt anlarged Mor.an large griz which is a modern release LT
