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.

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.

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

I love these knives and I like the dog shield because it looks like a GSP ... but at the cost of one nowadays ... 
It just seems crazy to pay those prices... Re: Walk yer Dogs

Three purebreds and a very curious old sheath.

Now that you mention it, it does resemble a GSP. As much as knife collectors love the dog shield, I don’t know why Kabar doesn’t use it anymore. If they brought it back at a reasonable price I’d definitely buy more and I’m sure others would also.

Very nice Ken. The long spoon is a tough one to find in such nice condition.

It does seem like it might be older than the 1950's, after looking at it againMumbleypeg wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 12:50 amThanks! I've been told by folks that know a lot more than me about Union/Ka-bar that it's from mid 1920s to pre-WWII.

I was trying to go by the tang stamp, but, I have about .001% knowledge when it comes to KA-BAR... I will just say again that is a very fine example of a great USA made knife from the "good old days"
