Krom zwaard met gemene scherpe punt en bloedgeul="Scimitar with a nasty sharp point and blood groove". (really. no such thing as 'blood grooves', they're 'fullers' in english, a device to lighten a blade without losing rigidity.

in the words of the immortal bard, crocodile dundee, that's not a dutchy sabel/klewang, THIS is a dutchy sabel/klewang: .

the dutch ARE fond of the clipped points on their sabels.

premise: jim bowie (boo-ee) was a dutchman. discuss.
