It's a cheap copy of a Kabar, likely made in Japan-possibly India.

I think the stamp says "Solingen", which, if it does would be a bit odd. :eek: :D

Kutaho, I sent you a PM at the other site before I wandered over here. ;) :)

I kind of thought solingen
myself artabar. that kind of
got me a little excited.
it bothers me that down below
is scratched out.
It would kill me if it said
japan:(

Then there's the fact that it has four
instead of five finger grooves, and the
cut out at the back end of the blade.
Mr. DeShivs may be right.

Sheath is the real McCoy though.

Yeah, it would kinda suck having a WWII era U.S. knife stamped with a German city.

I was thinking maybe it could be a pre or post war knife but I can't find any production or issue dates.
