    Take a closer pic of the the tang where it is written from a different angle. But I’m thinking it says Clean Cut

    Ka-Bar Cutlery from Olean NY. This was formerly Union Cutlery. From after the 50’s
    My best guess anyway.

    And Union Cutlery had a trademark "OLCUT" which on some knives had "OLEAN CUT. CO." Maybe that is what is on the tang?
