KA-BAR STAG SWING GUARD - SOLD!!
Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2023 8:55 pm
Excellent Condition - it does have some very light scratches on the mark side of the blade that appear to be an attempt to sharpen although it looks like it still has the original factory edge...so, I can't explain how or why those would be there. 
(you kind of have to angle the blade just right under a light to see the scratches...I couldn't get them to show in my photos)
4ΒΌ" closed; 7 5/8" OAL
Slight blade movement in locked open position--which I only mention in case someone would actually be thinking of using this knife
instead of displaying it like the fine "museum piece" it is 
I realize that I probably overpaid for this one ($275) when I bought it because I fell in love with the gorgeous stag and the unique swing guard pattern which I had never seen on a KA-BAR before, so I know I'll never recover my investment. Truth is, I wouldn't even be selling it if I didn't have to, but I'm hoping someone will see the beauty in it like I did and appreciate its rarity enough to pay my asking price.
$225/OBO
