Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Vintage Kabar bird trout rescue

While trolling a pickers choice type shop on the coast this week, I ran across this little Kabar knife.
From what I could learn online, it may be a model 1266 or 1226? A bird / trout knife.

I gave them $20 for it. Overall about 7” long. Blade is 3 1/2”.
The stamping on both the blade and sheath is “Kabar”..... not Ka-bar.

any idea of exactly what I found here?
I intend to put it back to work in the field.
