Thanks Bear, for your post 
The std bayonet was/is really a joke at best...but I guess if we
were to sharpen it, then it's another story. But for general safety
sake during super shag bayonet fighting training, keeping it blunt
might be a good thing afterall.
Yeah, the shiny super non-tactical folder was another boo-boo.
Probably some cheapo china mass production with China stainless
steel that rust-stain any paper when it was deployed. Definitely a
good deadly terrorizing weapon - imagine threatening your enemy
with that rusty blade! Or poisoning their water by stiring with it!
Thinking about it sends shivers! LOL!!!
I use a lot of pocket tools during my NS....my oriniginal Buck
Tool is still serving me till today....plier, serrated blade, plain
blade, +,-screw drivers, etc...one time a koo-koo mate borrowed it
to open coconut! WTF, broke it. Luckily Buck did a one-for-one
replacement. That's some quality lifetime warranty here. No
question asked!
Lost a SAK (Swiss Army Knife) during my training. Had a Ka-bar
but didn't quite use it cos orders then demanded that I bring my
bayonet to Brunei. Sianz.
