KaBar Dogs Head

I have been intrigued by the KaBar Dogs Head, and can find out little about them. I have heard that KaBar Knives are extremely hard to date.

The old ones are very expensive $200-500 and up. Wonder why they are so expensive? Are they rare? Not many around? I seem to see them at shows wherever I go. I sure would like one.

The Dogs Head have been re-introduced - I think in the '70's-and the new ones are very nice. I visited the Cutco/Kabar Cutlery in Olean, NY recently and saw a few.

What do you know about the Dogs Head? Any pictures to post here?

Here is my only one dated I think 70's - maybe 1984 - I think it was a Club Knife.

Thanks guys. Yes Ron, that bottom one has really beautiful bone. I am still looking for a Rams Horn - I'll get one yet.

I know, old post but I just found it.

I also have a yellow handled stockman and a yellow handled barlow with the dogs head.

Great looking knife Rome.

AG. Russell has the copper dogs head also. Has anyone bought them and studied the quality of them? I heard that Kabar does not make them, someone else does. The jury is still out for me on those new copper heads.
