KA-BAR Chat thread - Come on in the house

Oh, I had it way wrong.

 

I like the looks and design of that Outdoorsman model but 440A doesn't do anything for me steelwise. Rather have 1095CV.

 

Actually, I think ALCAS owns both CUTCO and KABAR.

 

What's ALCAS?

Edit: more specifically, does ALCAS stand for something?

 

I think that Alcas changed its name to Cutco a while ago and Ka-bar is a subsidiary of Cutco.

 

From the cutco corporation web site ( http://www.cutco.com/company/history.jsp )

ALCAS was a joint venture between ALCOA and Case Cutlery started in 1948.

 

No. :thumbdn:

 

I think they are Kraton. But.....to be completely forthright, I did not ask the rep, and I can't remember how they felt as far as texture. The ergonomics were pretty good though....of course not as good as the tweeners, but close. Sorry I can't help out more ZZ.

 

Yes. :thumbup:

 

I remember that last guy that sassed a mod....funny I dont see him around much anymore

 

Maybe. :thumbup::thumbdn:

 

Hmmm...five days without chat.

A bad case of laryngitis?

 

They're all skeerd of the supermod they were poking at. In reality, he's probably found a nice quiet lawnmower somewhere and he has a tiny stove to warm his bones.

 

Nope, old Goo-yon is a big teddy bear.

In other news, got a Ka-Bar bear belt buckle from Ebay for $21.00 shipped. Might be here tomorrow.

 

Is there a 4 in that bunch? I'd sure like a chance to win one.

 

I was off getting laser beamed in the eyes. I can now see again. Time to start posting more!
