good old brass and rosewood. G96 Boot & Belt, The stud on the pouch locks into the hole in the G96 handle.
Kabar 2804?

Nice!

Yes, some very nice looking knives you got there.

I've never seen that setup on the sheath...

I think every knife like that looks beautiful, but you have to have some sort of belt sheath because of the weight. I think that is why I only own one.

Great pic, by the way.

Nice. I like.

Very cool, never seen those before. I assume that they are not current production. Any idea when they were made?

kabar has a production date list. The 2804 is 1981-87. It's thinner and lighter than the Buck 112.

That's nifty. The days of the big, brass, lockbacks must have been something else. Before my time though. I do wish KA-BAR would give traditional folders a shot again, and I'm not referring to the rebranded Canal Streets.
