KA-BAR identification

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.

Ka-bar knives with "Olean, N.Y." stamped on the tang date to circa 1923-1950.

Always looking for vintage knives with Virginia, Maryland, or Washington D.C. tang stamps. Any condition.

The can opener and screwdriver look to be Robeson.
