These are my blades - nothing special.

The top Katana sword is of good quality, quite new, well made and re-handled by my brother, as is the top Tanto. The two are of a 3 blade set, with the single hand Wagasashi's (sp) handle not finished, hense it isn't in the picture.

The second Japanese-type sword was made by an old mill worker in Terrace BC. It's a camp sticker, for whatever needs to be stuck. It's blade is made from a large 1/4" thick saw blade and takes a wonderful edge. It's length is handier for close encounters.

The bottom Tanto was made for me by my brother, using a chainsaw blade. The sterling butt cap and blade seat add a bit of flare. It's reason for making was it's long enough to find the heart of a grizzly - certainly hope it never has to be used for THAT. It's eason for being was before we were legally allowed, as Forest Officers, to pach firearms while in the bush. Once the rules were changed, my riot gun went with me. Before that, just the knife.

All are at least shaving sharp, while the Tantos and round handled Katana are popping-hair sharp.

On the right side, is a modern made rendition of an early 18th century plug bayonette. Prior to fixed bayonettes, the military's method was to advance firing, loading & firing until close enough to charge for a hand to hand melee with bayonettes. The musket was fired the last time at point blank range and both sides would draw their bayonette from it's holster and shove it's handle into the muzzle of their musket. Then. each line would advance to sticking range and it was ON. This bayonette's handle is of black ebony, not the easiest wood to work.
