Jeff V. Posted March 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2019 Here is a knife I got many years ago from the late Dicks Sams. It looks like a Navy mk 1 to me but there is no navy markings. It is guard marked KA BAR Olean, NY. Sheath is unmarked. I would appreciate if someone would let me know what this thing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyler Posted March 1, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 1, 2019 This is a model called the Commando by Kabar. Can also be found in a bright finish. These fall under the form of a 6 inch general utility knife during the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin6 Posted March 1, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 1, 2019 Ka-bar 6-inch hunting knife purchased by the US Army before the M3. Ka-bar, Case, Queen, Williams, Robeson, Pal, and Kinfolks made these knives, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedon Posted March 1, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 1, 2019 Some examples. The bright blade version has a different sheath and pommel than the Parkerized one does. The common bright blade version also has a fuller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
