Finally got round to hanging up some of my edged things.
Some of my favourite knives, all for different purposes. The second from the left is what I use most often, I like the blade profile quite a lot and while it’s not really balanced to my preference, it fits my hand well. The one on the end I made with a mate of mine, wasn’t overly difficult and is definitely something I’ll have forever.
Here are the British/commonwealth pointies with all three rifles that match (I really must get a photo with all three together). The swords belonged to my great great grandfather and great grandfather while they were serving, the P.1888 and P.1907 bayonets were from my grandfather’s collection and the spike is mine. All up that makes 4 generations, only skipping my dad who neither collects or served.
Here are a couple of my Swedish ones with my rolling block and Mauser. The m/94-14 bayonet is probably my favourite of all, sleek, elegant and well designed. I’m hoping to continue adding to my Swede collection, with the obvious next steps being an m/96 bayonet to match its rifle and an m/94-14 carbine to match its bayonet!
Post your favourite blades below for me to drool over
