Union cutlery O-Bak

Hi, I'm new to straight razors, only been shaving with one for a couple of months. I have 5 razors now, the first one I was given from a dead relative, and a few others I've got around town and two off Ebay. This newest one is my second off Ebay. I've been looking for any info I can find on this one, but have come up dry. I know about Union Cutlery, the first razor I bought a coupler of months ago is a Spike, I've been de-rusting it for a few weeks bit by bit and its looking good now, I just need to have it honed.

This new one is a Union Cutlery O-Bak, just as I got it Ebay. Does anyone have any info about this particular model? The blade is big and heavy, but I haven't measured it yet. It's a good bit bigger than my Wester Bros. Anchor Brand blade art any rate.

Thanks.

Union Cutlery is now known as KA-BAR.

Thanks for the link! I've got one of their Spike razors and I see a ton of those on the internet. I just haven't found anything at all about this O Bak at all.

Hey guys, this Union O-bak is a sweet shaver. I keep going back to it again and again. If you see one, grab it!!! It's got a nice wide, round spine that makes for a beautiful bevel.
