    Yes Steve, I really respect KaBar for the military support they have shown, now and many years in the past also. I think Korea deserves more respect than our country has shown. Thank you for all those who have served and fought in Korea, many of us will never forget.

    A Ka-Bar never looked so good. You should post a picture of all 3 Dogs, that you have, Ken. I think it would make a great photo. I might do that with my 3 real old Hobo's.

    Small K-Bar I found at junk shop for $7.00 had aloose pommel and missing 3 washers,replaced washers and reset handle

    The origanal sheath has a ladies name on it "Marina Kelly " I know nothing about her or the knife. It is a small very well made knife .Perfect for a lady

    Hello there kabar lovers. I have recently rediscovered an old folding knife I believe belonged to my grandfather. I found it yesterday and took a closer look since I have started collecting knives.

    To my delight, when I opened the blade I sat the Ka-bar stamp! However, there aren't any more markings to speak of. I was hoping someone might have some insight for me. Trying to figure out when it was made etc. thanks!

    It's a 2179L GRIZZLY! If it says KA-BAR it was made after 1923, but almost certainly Pre - WWII. Probably in the 30s .To be sure I'd need to see the tang stamp (s) does it still work? If you don't understand what I mean by that, it was originally a SwitchBlade. Looks a little beat up, but all things considered, not to bad.Still a Great piece.I'm not sure about current values,but if working & no chips, splits, dents or damage it would probably be worth between Five or Ten Thousand Bucks!

    Unfortunately the mechanism is no longer working. The blade is in great condition. Anyone have any idea where/if something like this can be repaired
  • Jim Johnson

    I'm sure it can. In fact it can probably be fully restored. All it takes is money! I used to know a man in Kentucky, Mr. A.H. Purvis. Good man and reasonable, if he can't handle it, I'm sure he will know someone who can.Or you can always just do an online search.

    I love the KA-BAR branded knives of the WWII era. The Mark 2 knife pattern is arguably the most highly recognized knife silhouette to come out of the War. Even though it was also manufactured by others, it is still most commonly known as the KA-BAR. Great knife and marketing!
