Help please with Union knife

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.

Help please with Union knife

Post by chorizotaco »

All

I just purchased this old Union Cutlery knife and it looks funny to me, the way the blade sits in the channel when it's closed. The nail nick is way back also. This is the first Union I have so it's old and maybe I'm just not use to how they looked way back in the day. The blade appears short to me also. Any and all feedback appreciated. Thank you.

It’s got some beautiful bone handles. I see nothing wrong with the rest of it but I’m no expert. Some of the KA-BAR gurus will probably know.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
