KA BAR Scoutie/Multi

Post by Ridgegrass »

Multiblade collectors might like this one. Pearl celluloid handles embossed. *KA BAR*. Main blade etched "STAINLESS"
Cap lifter/prestolite wrench and punch stamped," UNION CUT CO. Olean, N.Y., USA.
Main blade tang stamped, KA BAR STAINLESS, Long pull match nick,
I have about 40 celluloid KA BARs and none of the celluloid shows much shrinkage like some other brands. Impressive.

I’m not a fan of celluloid but I love prestolite wrenches. Nice knife!

Nice knife, don’t let these young fellers scare you about celluloid. Here is a CATTARAUGUS 42172 that still looks good.

You're right Jack Knife Ben . Especially the less clear, kinda swirly caramel styles. I've got 80 year old knives that have handles tight and straight, KA BAR's lemon color does well too. J.O'.
