Cool old kabar push button.

Any one ever seen one. I think it's pretty cool.

I'd love to hear what y'all think.

I saw one about 30 years ago at a knife show. It was a really big folder, and you could say a bear of a knife. Heavy for a folder, and while it was neat, it was in the class of being so large and heavy, I had to question why it was made. It couldn't do anything as well as a dedicated hunting knife that would have been both lighter and sturdier for the job at hand.

But it was neat!

I must say though its just cool even back when it was being made then and now you gotta have something to show of to you buddy's i mean its a cool knife. you don't see a hole lot of non auto button locks.

Am I seeing things or is that knife priced higher than 2-3 cars back then?

I think this is a knife ID and value book, not a catalog from that era.
They most likely didn't cost that much back then, probably around 5 dollars.
