The WWII K-Bar I have from WWII was used island hopping by a Swabbie who's daughter gave it to me. It has staples down the sides of the case plus the normal stitching.
I thought it was a re-make and he said no they put stapes cause the stitching was rotting in the jungles? Are the new K-Bars nice? Yes excellent I have a few.
Now NOT being a knife expert just in the feel and heft the general quality of the old one seems far superior. Just my .02?

Yes Colonel just read your post the old ones seem? to be the good ones??
