Lucky you, lucky knife.This KA-BAR 1207 was found in the trash and saved for me, it was pretty rough from mere neglect but not heavy use and was certainly not dead.

The blade appeared to be very full, definitely not sharpened a ton.
I'd say the knife is luckier than I am.Lucky you, lucky knife.
Nice one.
Is this a modern knife?
The sheath looks terrible and I'd never want to use it if I was going to carry this knife, but I was able to save it.
It's still a functional sheath that will cover the blade until I decide to make or buy something for it, I think I'd probably just buy one of those inexpensive generic Mexican made sheaths that are readily available online.
The current KA-BAR marine hunter seems to be an almost identical copy of this knife, so maybe a replacement sheath for that one is available and will work.
