KA-BAR: Folder, Pen knives and Pocket knives

[Tdhurl1103]

Hey all you Kabarbarians,

I thought I'd start a thread here where you could post up old or new Kabar folders, pen/pocket knives.

And, I wanted to show you guys what I found today.

I have this Kabar I inherited from my Great Uncle. He served in WWII and from what I can remember about him is he always had a little pocket/pen knife on him. Well he passed away in 1986, and I was not into the pen/small pocket knives at that time so I never used it. It sat at the bottom of an old wooden box, usually stored in a shed or a garage, for all of that time until today. I forgot about it, and another small knife, a Case inside the box. I'm not real familiar with Kabars pocket knives other than their reliability and popularity. It is pretty beat up. In fact, you can barely make out the Kabar logo on the blade. Anyway, here it is

Looks like a well worn 1970s knife, delrin handles, made well after they made their good reputation.

Here are a few of the good old knives from when quality was top grade. The seven blade one is one of the "holy grails" of pocketknife collecting.
