Many people on /k/ are from the US and it's late night/early morning, not really prime posting hours.

>>34858155
Should have thought about the time zone, sorry.

Nice dagger though

Bumping this through your night, ameri/k/ans.

>what was the biggest blade used by WW2 U.S?
Probably pic related. AFAIK officer's swords are purely decorative.

Wow! Activity. Thanks people, I thought the thread died.

Also, >>34859620
Knew about the "not made to actually fight' but decorative? A world is crumbling.

Ever see the cattaraugus knives? They were pretty nice utility type blades.

Useful both in knife fighting and in performing everyday duties - NR-40.

Is that even practical, or just for show?

I have the same knife from my grandpa, but the sheath is polymer/plastic. Does that make sense for an early 50s to late 50s flight mechanic or did he get it after he served? I never did find out.

The original bayonet issued with the M1 Garand was 16" long. They cut it down later in the war.

Is this one? Got it from Danish army. They used to get used USA 2ww gear in the 60ties.
Is it a real 2ww, or Something made Later?
