    As Armourers responsible for looking after these bayonets, the blades were never sharp - as in doubling up as a razor but the edge was maintained so that it COULD be sharpened if and when the time/need arose. However, the edge didn't need to be razor sharp to do the job. The tip was sharp for jabbing and the edge was sharp enough to cut and hack as it would be when bayonet fighting.

    The wood grips are a bit too 'full' Aragorn. Do you want a real one to copy?
