My First WWII Ka-Bar

Recommended Posts

I went to a local gun show intending to buy a certain type of rifle but when I didn’t find any I perused the tables again and found this WWII Navy Mk 2 Ka-Bar set hiding among some civilian blades. The blade has seen some use but both the knife and the sheath are in great shape. Hopefully the first of many!

It's a good start. Now, before you get carried away, figure out how you will store approximately 50-60 knives.

 

50-60???...why set limits :D:lol:

I know the fun of the first one - enjoy it. Then apply for a raise on your credit card limit - that's step 2 in MK2 collecting I've found.

I'm afraid I've caught the bug. Looking at the way Mk 2's are going for right now I think I'll stick with one for now!

Ahh..very nice! The thick pommel peened version..I have 2 of these guard marked USN KA-Bar MK2s.and they are slightly later thin pinned pommel..BUT have the same NORD - 8114 sheath..I was wondering if both versions used the 8114 contract one.
