Kabar Pattern Similar To Cripple Creek Pattern

[Aimus Moses]

Does anyone know who made these Kabar knives? Were they made from Bob Cargill's Cripple Creek tooling? Possibly made by Bob Cargill? Nice looking knives who ever made them.

Aimus, I'm not sure who actually made that knife but Alcas Cutlery purchased the rights to the KA-BAR trademark in 1996. I do have a 1923 to 52 KA-BAR in a creme celluloid that Ibelieve to be the model Bob Cargill used make the Knife World dog leg KA-BAR.Unfortunately this knife, like a lot of old KA-BARs has no pattern #. The bone handled KA-BARS in my references for this pattern are 62134, measures 3 3/8 inch.Slim

Thanks IM. Nice Cripple Creek Tim!!! Looks close to the one Aimus showed. Found a time-line link for K-BAR www.kbar/history(sorry, forgot how to insert adresses)The only mention of makers was "many across the U.S."Slim

Slim & Tim, 3 3/8 is the length size the seller said the knife I pictured was. I had the knife on my watch list and was going to bid on it but I had to go help my son and by the time I'd got back it had ended. It sold for around $29.00 I think. I would have paid more for it than that. I've seen an Ulster brand knife in this pattern and length before on Ebay but it was a much older knife. The Ulster went for way more than I could put into it at the time. You guys have some fine looking knives in this pattern. I love those older Cripple Creek knives, no matter what pattern they are in and it's a given that I like the Kabars.

Hi, there is someone who could tell me anything you want to know about any ka-bar he has most of the old paper work, he even has the art work for the clasp with a grizzly bear, but he's been very ill when he gets better I can ask him, I can't give out his name more than Joe, I don't think he wants to be disturbed right now, I suppose someone out there knows him he was in the front office for years, I don't want to email him right now, I just got a email from him telling me about his health. George God bless
