What we have here is a Case U.S. Marine Corp K-Bar. Case knives are made in Bradford, PA. To be in the chosen few to win you must be one of the 1st ten to tell me what ANGLICO stands for. I will pick from my hat one of the ten and send the knife to them. Let the games begin.

    If it's a Case it can't be a KABAR!!!

    We made some Case knives for them but to my knowledge Case has never made a knife for Kabar!!

    I live 8 miles from Bradford, Case makes a fine knife! I work for Kabar which is a subsidiary of Alcas corporation. Alcas stands for Alcoa Case! We used to be a company derived from Case and Alcoa going into partnership, now we have nothing to do with neither, although we do help out Case with heat treating from time to time!!!

    I feel like I'm cheating.

    ANGLICO (Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company) MARINES were used to provide Fire support Coordination and Communications between the U.S. ARMY and the U.S. NAVAL forces. ANGLICO MARINES were sent to special schools to enhance their capabilities towards their mission accomplishment.

    We have the 1st ten for the give away. The Lovely Sharon will pick the winner tomorrow. I will contact the winner and receive the address to send the knife to. It will be in the mail by end of business on the 17th. I will have more give aways in the near future. I am cleaning out my junk drawer so to speak. Thank you all for learning what ANGLICO is and what I was apart of.
