The Gun Counter

My late father made some knives in the 70's from beat-up old bayonets bought cheaply by the dozen.

My 7 year old was exploring the room of death last month, and asked if he could pick something out.
"Of course!" sez I (SWMBO? - Forgiveness not permission) and so he picks out one of the Dad-mades and declares it his short sword. This one had a wood sheath and Dad said he was going to make a frog for it....one day. "How can I wear it?" asks Miles.

With some basic leatherwork, Dad's knife gets a frog and his grandson has a short sword. All's right in the world.

Short Sword




Enfield marking?

Name it Sting? And does it glow when zombies are about?

I've got something in my eye...

Treasure these moments, friend -- but then, it seems you already know that...

Sting is a name for hairy footed wierdos with a breakfast obsession.

It needs a better name, like say Naegling?

You say breakfast obsession like it's a bad thing...BACON Forever!

Yup.

And are you implying that they AREN'T hairy footed wierdos?

Very nice leather working there!

That does have a pseudo-gladius look to it. Your dad did a very good job remodeling that old bayonet. Now your son needs a shield and armor so he can serve in the neighborhood legion.

Good job. How about Serpent Breath?
