Kabar collection

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.

Kabar collection

Post by IMBand »

I stumbled across a guy here locally who has inherited a collection of about 100 Kabar knives.
He says he can make a great deal on the lot of them, gonna go see them and get some photos.
I will post the pics here and will gladly pass on this sellers info to interested parties through PM.

I went and looked at the knives. Not 100, but 54 knives, all Kabar and 98% from the early 80's.
Maybe 20 dogs head including some boxed sets, a couple USMC Replicas in Wood boxes too.
There are some nice stag models and a couple cool patterns, the guy selling them is someone I have
known for a long time and he made me a great deal on all 54 of them. More pics coming soon. ::nod::

Here are the pics of the Kabar Collection I just purchased locally.
The seller told me his parents collected together and thats why there are quite a few
duplicates here. These are well taken care of, basically NOS.
Turned out to be 49 Kabars, 2 Case NKCA, a nice Buck 110 and 3 Pakistani knives.
Several large knives with really nice stag and even some engraved models. ::nod::
Pakistani knives not in photos.
