Ka-Bar Marine Corps Commemorative reject

Post by kwackster »

A week ago a friend of mine brought me this gold etched commemorative Ka-Bar with gold plated guard & pommel
The knife had a loose guard, which by the way was easily solved by treating the leather handle to a few coats of warm beeswax.
This made the leather swell just enough to tighten the guard again.

The owner told me that only 2 or 3 of these "proof" knives exist, each one with a different blade etching, and at least this design didn't make it.
Still a very nice version of the classic Ka-Bar in my book, what do you guys think ?
