Why not?

I asked if we might try a Kabar Forum and here it is! I know a lot of folks love the old Dog's Heads and from those early days of Union Cutlery to today, they remain popular. My reason for asking for a Kabar Forum is because of all the old slip-joints I see. They've held up well. Here's one I posted on another thread, but it's an oldie that needed restored with new Christmas Tree scales and a bit of clean up.

Nice knife.

I have one Kabar. I can't remember when I got it, but it is a 4 blade camp type knife. I haven't been able to find any information on it. Once I get things together I am goig to take some pictures of my inventory.

Good job Bob! Kathy and I were just talking about starting a Ka-Bar picture thread, but this is much better!

Sorry, this is Bret, with Kathy logged in....

I can't decide which of these 2 is my favorite.

A couple of real beauties Bret! I'm not sure I could pick a favorite either. Let's call it a tie.

I can't decide which of these 2 is my favorite.

They are both my favorite. Is the second one the size of a Remington 1123?
Nice knives I have one like the first with the folding guard.

[Bret888]

Stockman, yes it is the same as an 1123. I have a sad old 1123, and the handle scales and tang stamps are the only visible difference.

This is my one and only Kabar. I can't remember when I got it or how old it is. I'm thinking late 70's early 80's. I just dug it out of an old tool box and have some upkeep to do. The photo leaves a lot to be desired.

Isaac's Grandpa,

Thanks for posting it! I just wanted to say to AAPK!

Finally a Kabar forum !! Heres a few of my decent ones....

My collection is a bit lean on the Kabars but here is one I do have.

No tang stamp but has a faint blade etch that says "Ka-Bar" over 479 USA.

Wooden handled lockback 5 5/8 in. closed length.
