Congrats, Henk!

Thanks, Ian! To me, it's more interesting that the blade was made for the US Military up to 1956, and its last use was in ROTC and ceremonial duty. Personally, I still think that someone in the US cobbled this thing together as a do-it-yourself project. I mean, not even rivetting those bone slabs on? Have you ever seen Japanese work that sloppy?
