[badws6]

Found this on the big auction site





now for the unique part





and even strangness no edge both blade have never been sharpned



I have collected Kabar 1184's since I was old enough buy a knife on my own. In fact the 1184 was the first knife I purchased I have been concentrating on BUCKS for the last decade or so. So I had to have this one

Well. That's weird. Were kabars farmed out to Buck at one time?

badws6,

This is a frankenknife...probably put together at Camillus Cutlery or from parts scavenged from the factory. Camillus made KA-BARs and Bucks to name a few brands.
Hope this helps.

Is there any way to date the blade?
