Let's see some Of Your favorite Knives!!

[cordell]

Hello Mr 16 gauge & dovehunter,
Mr. 16 gauge, Nice collection, and good work on the primatives, they certainly look like what I would expect in a possible bag. As far as your Western is concerned they were nice knives, wait until you see what I use!!!

dovehunter, You have two very nice knives there but the 2nd one is indeed a little treasure. What you have there is a German dress bayonet, in darn good condition. Thank goodness it is not sharp because they were "never" sharpened and only used for dress. The fact you still have the sheath and frog makes it even more desireable!! GREAT FIND!!!! Take care and God bless. cordell

That's what I thought too except there are no provisions anywhere on the knife that would have permitted fitting it to the front of a 98k. If however the dress bayonets were never actually fastened to a rifle, then you may be right. Not to worry about sharpening though, everyone has told me that it would detract from the knife's value if it was sharpened. Besides I have plenty of other working knifes to use instead of this one.
