My collection is growing

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.

So true! My mom stopped the other day and I told her I had an addiction and I need help and she got a concerned look on her face then the I told her as I was carrying three packages into house it was an eBay and knife purchasing addiction… She laughed and said blame your father!

Remember this: YOU don't need more...your COLLECTION needs more. That said, I have a talent for self delusion, you may be made of finer stuff!

Also there's a 30 min Documentary on the history of Ka-Bar on You Tube. You've probably seen it but just in case....
