KABAR USMC Knife set

[Mr.Glock]

Cleaning out safes and found this pair. Are they collectors? Any value? One is 7” and smaller one 4 1/4”.

I would say not likely any collector value since you can still buy them unless you can get a date and the was the older ones. here is a price list of the different ones from a place i get mine from. Over 20 KA-BAR USMC Styles To Chose From!!

I believe they are both post 80's, no collector value, but great knives.

Thanks. $100 each it looks like fair. They are at least Made In America!!

Ha I've got one of those as well. Fun to hold but hugely impractical for day to day needs.

The big for sure! The smaller one is perfect size!

Very cool knives. I have my grandfather’s from WWII. I personally think $100 is a bit high but who knows in today’s market.

I'm sorry I have to disagree the KaBar is a do everything knife. I've cut trees down with it I've cut game up with it, it's one of the best utility all around knives I've ever come across and I'm not a fan of large knives, but the way the KaBar is made and the durability of it is outstanding. In fact my wife and another marine wife took mine out and was chipping sea shells off of a reef with it, will not go into the conversation we had on that.lol
Everyone likes and are use to different things, that's why we have some many choices. The KaBar just suits mine.

Small one is 4.5“ the bigger one is 7”. Never took them out of box till this morning. I am kinda digging them both! Seem tough as hell and built tough as well.

USMC has a birthday coming up if you would like to give them to me. Or sell me the 4.5 for a decent price.
