Vintage old stock. With crack in micarta and gap in handle between tang and handle, also signs of aging such as tarnish, corrosion of aluminum pins in handle which affects micarta around pin. Light handling wear. The center-grind line may be slightly crooked. Sheath leather is shrunk a little so a bit difficult to get blade inside. The blade edge is factory sharpened and mirror polished. The handle is elegant white paper micarta found in the older Seki knives. These Khyber knives were made in Seki, Japan by Tak Fukuta for Ka-Bar between 1976-1983, making this a very rare find in this condition! Khyber brand knives are high quality Japanese Ka-Bar knives that were imported from Japan between 1976-1983 by the Cole National Corporation - the same company that owned Ka-Bar at the time. This is the Khyber version, identical to the Ka-Bar 2751.
