Wanted USMC ka-bar for handle

ok i just got a manuel jeep and i want to put the stacked leather handle of a kabar as the shifter... so il take any thing with a handle in good condition i dont care about the blade condition or even if it has one (i need at-least 1" or 1 1/2" of the tang how ever)...

Nice!!! I like the looks of the t handle better than the one I have. Probably easier to grab too.

I have one. I just catalogued some knives and I am organizing them on a special Facebook page. I plan, eventually to post them here but I have a lot of knives!! Never used, pristine condition, with a sheath. Attached a picture. My husband left me 32 fixed blade and 20 pocket knives. You are welcome to look at them on the Facebook page.
