THIS IS A RARE BIG UNION CUT CO. KABAR KNIFE MADE BETWEEN 1923 AND 1937 ONLY.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING KABAR AND UNION CUT CO. FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND THIS ONE IS A GREAT ONE IN GREAT CONDITION FOR THE AGE OR ANY AGE! THE BLADE IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND IS STAMPED ON ONE SIDE UNION CUT CO. THE BLADE IS FULL AND MEASURES 5-3/4" LONG WITH A CLIP POINT AND A 3" FALSE EDGE ON THE TOP SPINE AND IS LITERALLY. RAZOR-SHARP WITH THUMB GROOVE NOTCHES ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BACK SPINE TO KEEP THE HAND FROM SLIPPING WHEN USING (SEE PICTURES).IT HAS A SMALL NICK IN THE BLADE AT THE GUARD BUT IT REALLY DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE EVER BEEN RESHARPENED,,, IF IT HAS IT WAS JUST A COUPLE SWIPES! IT DOES HAVE PANTINA (SEE PICTURES). IT IS A NICE SIZE KNIFE MEASURES 9-1/4 OVERALL AND HAS A TALL THICK BLADE (SEE PICTURES).
THE HANDLES ARE BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT THICK, DARK DEEP GRAINED STAG WITH A LOT OF CHARATER AND NO CRACKS, CHIPS OR ANY IMPERFECTIONS NOT EVEN A STRESS CRACK! THEY HAVE FOUR STEEL PINS, LOTS OF NICE COLOR AND ALL TIGHT. IT HAS A NICE FRONT DOUBLE FINGER METAL GUARD AND A METAL REAR POMMEL ALSO TIGHT AND RIGHT.
IT COMES WITH A LEATHER SHEATH THAT HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS BUT FITS ANYWAY. THIS ONE IS A HARD FIND AND DOES NOT COME AROUND VERY OFTEN IT WOULD BE A VERY NICE EARLY KABAR COLLECTIBLE FOR ANY COLLECTOR, FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
