Yard sale find

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.

That is definitely an HOK that you should carry. Nice find! ::tu::

P.S. I'm wondering what those diamond shaped marks on the bolsters are? I know that I have seen the same odd marks on other old knives, quite a few times. Maybe someone's method of tightening up the pivot pin? ::hmm::
