HUNTER'S & COKEBOTTLE'S (Pre 60s)

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.

I just got this one today, I believe it’s an original dog head pre 1920’s? I love these old knives.... also wondering if those initials are from the original owner

Nice old Union Cutlery knife Philwil1. Pre KABAR marks so maybe before 1923 if the rule for fixed blades holds true for folders. Nice old bone covers too. The initials aren't factory. ::tu::

Here is an oldie. Union on the blade, KA-BAR on the shield.. I have been putting this one in the pocket. Love that old bone, and closes like a bear trap.

Seeing all the beauties on the previous posts may have caused me to do something impulsive and stupid. Purchased a dog head swing guard on eBay yesterday. I’m sure I paid to much but about impossible for me to get to shows I haven’t received it yet but here are some pics opinions please good or bad when I receive it will get better pics worried about the bolster cutout and handle etc thanks all Kevin

Better pictures are certainly needed. In the meantime, I wanted to comment on the "bolster cutout" you mentioned. This is a lock back knife. The blade locking mechanism is controlled by the swing guard and that is the reason the information about the patent is engraved on the swing guard. The notch you see in the bolster is part of the locking mechanism so it is appropriate that it is there. This pattern is a desirable pattern to collect and it is difficult to find one of these in good shape.

Ralph. Thanks for your response. Glad about the collectibility part I have never seen one in person but it looks like the front part of the “notch “ that the swing guard fits into may be missing but not sure cause I haven’t actually seen one. Yeah I know pics are bad really shouldn’t have pulled the trigger with pics like that ! Kevin

The attached pictures are a modern re-make from Canal Street. I am providing them for reference to show how the swing guard integrates with the bolster. The original knife was likely made sometime between 1923 and 1940.
