That is a fine collection of dogs.

Looks like Queen dogs to me. KA-BAR/Union Cut never made some of those models with dogs. Can't see the marks on the hunters to give you dates, the Little Hunters are about 1932-1940 by the handles, none made before then. Your "Pistol Grip" was likely made between 1923 and about 1928-30 if it has a KA-BAR stamp, the model was discontinued early on. I like the little Hunter with the scaler back, hard one to find in nice shape.

Well here is a different one altogether. Tang stamp is Stidham's Knives Belpre, Ohio, but made in Solingen Germany. I liked the Stag and the Shield. And I have always been a sucker for the big cigar whittlers.

Kinda thought there were more dogs in the neighborhood??

I only have one Kabar dog shield knife. Would love to get more but not at today’s prices. I don’t know the year made but it’s in mint condition. They are beautiful knives but at today’s prices I won’t buy any more knives. It’s a shame but five years ago, this knife cost me $45. Those days are gone forever.

Thanks. I’m definitely a fan, these are really well made knives. They’re just not easy to come by anymore.

Well if they were easy to come by, they might as well be China made! Some very nice knives here.
