The Kabar Collector Yearly CK Knives

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.

Thank You One and ALL,
The Collection was a love of my cousin who just passed, He left his many knives to me and I saw fit to share with everyone all knives were his except for the 30th anniversary knife which I aquired from a former Kabar Employee recently, as I thought that knife might be unattainable it made my day when Joe was willing to let go of his. Thanks Again For All The Comments and look forward to seeing everybody in the forum

KEEP EM SHARP

WOW that is one GR8 COLLECTION of Ka Bars.

I had to check to see if I had any that looked like yours.

I do not have any.

How every I found two that I do not remember showing. So here they are.

Not sure if that last one is a club knife.
