    Impressive work.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That’s easy. The first rule of rule making taught to politicians is that every second rule must be dumb. Clearly the rule about bayonets is an even numbered rule in the rule register.

    Here's a reference pic for you of the real thing....

    Name: IMG_20200803_192110.jpg Views: 556 Size: 3.78 MB

    This is the rare first version of the fighting knife , with the bent finger guard , issued to my grandad in WW2 .
    I believe only a few of this version were made .

    Instead of using a saw blade, a meteorite makes a great dagger https://www.livescience.com/61214-ki...ter-space.html

    You are probably a bit finner in the process but the green scotchbright pads can work well for polishing
