I found a NIB KA-BAR USMC knife today ($30.00) and was wondering if the older "new" KA-BARs are worth anymore than the current production examples? I've not really kept-up with them since they were not a issue knife.
If the paperwork print dates are anything to go by it looks like this one is from the early 1990s.
Worth more than $30 but not collectible at all. I think they go for $60 now?

They came in that same box in 1984. I think they cost more than that then if I recall correctly.

Old thread I know, but the OPs knife is exactly what I got with my Ka Bar when I bought it in early 1989. I know they aren’t worth anything but I regret throwing the box away along with all that other stuff with it.

Is the finish on the OP's knife powder coating or parkerizing?
