Have had the knife bug lately and have been looking at some K-Bar hunting knives along with Marbles and Western knives . Have a little experience with the latter two but none with K-Bar .
Was wondering what some of you might think of them in sharpening and holding edge .
The ones I am looking at seem to be of early K-Bars . Thanks , Kenneth

I would call the knives made pre-war by Union Cutlery, (KaBar), are pretty comparable to others like Marbles, Case, Western, etc. Of the four mentioned Western got into the fixed blade knife game later.
