Description: THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AND VERY RARE LITTLE KABAR TRADING POST HUNTER KNIFE, SOME FOLKS CALL IT A LITTLE HUNTER OR A KABAR SHORTY, THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY THE SHORTEST MODEL HUNTER KA-BAR EVER MADE 1923 BEFORE 1937. I HAVE COLLECTED THESE LITTLE HUNTERS FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS IS MY FAVORITE, I HAVE SEVERAL NEAR LIKE IT BUT NOT ONE EXACTLY LIKE IT, (I HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT). THIS IS THE 12TH SMALLER ONE I AM LISTING. IT MEASURES 6" OVERALL WITH A 3" BLADE, THATS WHY IT'S CALLED A SHORTY, IT'S A SMALL HUNTER KNIFE AND THEY ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND, NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE LIKE THIS ONE. THE BLADE TANG IS STAMPED KABAR REG. U.S.A. PAT. OFF. IT DOES HAVE SOME AGE CARBON PATINA ON THE BLADE SHOWING THE AGE (SEE PICTURES) BUT IS 100% FULL (A REAL HUNTING KNIFE). THE CLIP BLADE HAS A 1-1/2" FALSE EDGE (AND SAW TEETH ON THE TOP SPINE, ALSO VERY RARE!!!) (SEE PICTURES). IT HAS BEAUTIFUL MATCHING MULT-COLORED HANDLES WITH GOLD, BLACK, RED AND WHITE CLEAR HANDLES THAT ARE IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NO CRACKS OR CHIPS, ALL TIGHT AND RIGHT! THE FRONT GUARD IS NICKEL SILVER ALSO TIGHT AND RIGHT FOR 80 TO 100 YEARS. IT COMES WITH AN ORIGINAL KABAR LEATHER SHEATH ALSO IN GOOD CONDITION, SOME OF THE STITCHING IS BROKEN BUT ALL THE RIVETS ARE GOOD AND THE TOP HANDLE SNAP IS ALSO GOOD. THIS IS A REALLY NICE VINTAGE AND VERY RARE KABAR UNION CUT CO. EARLY KABAR COLLECTIBLE THAT DOES NOT COME AROUND VERY OFTEN. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK.
