Nice KA-BAR swing guard with little use

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 like the evolution of the pattern. I would love to find a nice example of the banana frame lock back dog head, and the knife you've just posted with the earlier bone and shield.

Very cool
