I may have to review my references for these then Ralph.
From what I read is that the tang is peened or the pin goes all the way through and the use of the thinner pommel.

There are replacement sheaths available , leather or plastic types . These are great outdoor knives and very tough .
Here is a photo of my Art Kabar , made by an old girlfriend when she was in art school . Made from cast aluminum ,
still have the knife by not the girl . She was a great one and I should have kept her Too !
Thanks guys, it is a ww2 period one i am after to sit here with my other US items, lots on ebay etc but the buggers wont ship them over, as far as i am aware fixed blades are ok, if anyone sees one advertised bear me in mind condition is not important .
this thread has been great for someone like me entering the minefield of Ka Bar.

Cool info, thx Ralph (The pinning differences)
Wow, nice work on the knife, from scratch?
What do you use for a blank, and what steel? Did you parkerize it?
Looks very accurate except for the thinner blood groove, THICK guard too, I like it!
Do you have pics/video of the manufacturing process?
Oh, I missed that, it's not full size?
Dang, coffee hasn't kicked in yet...
From scratch, tool steel, parkerized at a gun shop, proper construction as in stacked leather washer handle and pinned pommel with through tang construction.
Unfortunately no video or photos.
This thread is only 115 pages but I have posted more of my work here.
Other hobbies besides collecting militaria?,
Ralph.

Update on this i got it anyway, cheap and something to fill a gap, it did come with a sheath and as we all knew it confirms a 1970`s version but there is a twist he had another which he sent this one has a lighter strike and a real old sheath he gave me both for $50 i am hoping the latter is ww2 period, first two pics are the 70`s version
This is the one that i am hoping is late war production, no NY Olean on this one
