Walk yer Dogs

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 acquired my first KA-BAR “dog head”: a nice stag folding hunter, much like in previous posts, with both blades stamped.
My question is regarding the shield itself. There appears to be two different “dog shields”. One has a curved front ear-margin. The other type has a “straight” front ear-margin.
I’m a dog head “novice”. Experts please comment.
Thanks.

Great looking knife Rich. I wish I bought more of them when they were easily available and affordable. I only have one.
"The Edge...There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

Thanks! ::handshake:: They used to be about $350 to $450 now it seems they run about $700-$800 ... ::skeptic:: But they are absolutely the most wonderful dogs! ::nod::

A, '' 3 Dog night ''. The hobo is a Union Cutlery. Note the absence of the KA-BAR lettering on the collar.
