Pics: Battle blades to short swords...

Nice bayonet!
I have an Arisaka bayonet that grandpa brought back from the "Big One"
Well, actually it's only half a bayonet as his C/O made his whole company break or disable any working "collectables" they brought home.
I started modding it into a tanto a decade or so ago then got sidetracked halfway through the project...will post up some pics of the WIP if I come across it soon...

Cool idea for a broken bayonet, do you have the scabbard for it? If so, you could cut and plug it for your refurbished blade.

Old military blades are great and seem much better than most modern stuff out there. Problem is, a lot of stuff doesn't have a scabbard for it any more. There are still a lot of gems out there- you just have to look hard or even better happen to stumble upon them like this last one I got. At $25.00 it was an unbeatable bargain!
