Questions and answers about this item

 

Q: FYI: This is a WWII "red spacer" Ka-Bar, and is quite rare. Too bad it is pitted. Still cool though. :dry:

A: Thanks for the info..I'll let everyone know.

 

Hard to believe that this knife dealer did not know that, but to his credit he didn't stop the auction when Mr. $#!+head decided to perform his "random act of kindness" by giving him unsolicited information that could have cost Bill the auction.

 

BTW, Bill, that's a good example to fill a slot. Now you have one to show and if you ever decide to upgrade, you should not have a problem getting your money back. Congrats!

Greg,

 

To me it looks like 3 thin black spacers at the pommel. I don't know about the pommel being peened but it should be. When I get the knife I will post pictures.

Since it was listed as Vietnam era I was hoping it would be overlooked. I lucked out on this one.

 

And yes, I needed a red spacer USMC Ka-Bar. With this one I now have one each of the four main variations of the USMC Ka-Bar. I also have the USMC versions of the PAL, ROBESON SHUREDGE, and both the guard and blade marked CAMILLUS knives. Bill

I am "Mr. $#!+head." Even if my mother had bid on the item, I still would have informed the seller what he had, because I would have wanted someone to do that for me.

Great Job Bill!!!

 

I had my eye on this one too but decided to keep within my Christmas budget at the time it hit $70. I guess I'm too cheap to get the good stuff :crying: . But I’m always glad to find out when a fellow forum member is the winning bidder, especially when they share pictures :w00t:
