Kabar info

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.

Upper knife is a nice knife, hard to find pattern, 1950's to 60's era.

The lower knife is a modern fake, unfortunately.
