Gorgeous Knife..... Is it a vintage? Restored?
Thanks mate,Gorgeous Knife..... Is it a vintage? Restored?
I pretty much Love everything about this.
Great Picture!!!
Thanks mate,
It's a Mk1 fairly new, modified to look better (in my eyes) and older then it is. pipedreams308 has it now. I pretty sure he likes it too.
Been on this site for years and haven't spent much time in this forum. Been getting into Kabars lately and thought I would share my oldest.
Came from Grandma's live in boyfriend. He passed away and Grandma was being moved into a residential facility. Boyfriend was in the Army and I had seen some pictures of him in Italy at the end of WWII. My Dad thought this knife was somehow related due to the age but I honestly have no idea where/when he got it.
Still has a tight handle and even though it looks like it has been sharpened numerous time, it is still sharp and I think would handle it's business.
Looks like WWII vintage based on what I've seen. If I'm wrong, feel free to redirect me.
Be Safe!
Tad

Do you have any more photos of the kabar in that savage leather sheath. I have been looking as his work and wanted to see what it looks like in the sheathDay hike at about 9500 feet in the Colorado rockies. Not much knife action on the trail but thought we needed a glamour shot.

Took a couple quick ones. I've been running Savage stuff for a while now and really like it. His work is very consistent and priced nicely. I've had him make stuff that he doesn't list and it has always been top notch.Do you have any more photos of the kabar in that savage leather sheath.
