Well I got my 1st question answered so expediently, I though I'd ask another.
What are these? I've been looking all day, but maybe I have the name/terminology wrong. They have no sharp edges, other than the point.

Those are referred to as the "D-Day Landing/Fighting" Knife.....They were made back in the 70's & 80's from French Lebel spike bayonets. The sheaths look like they are for an Enfield spike bayonet. Occasionally you see them offered for sale as an "OSS fighting knife" as well....
Here is a link with some info: D-Day Fighting Knife |

It is a 'trocar'. It is used usually by doctors in addition with a tube called a cannula. They use them usually to introduce things like a chest drain or other instrument. The trocar are USUALLY long, thin, pointed , and three edged and can be some serious stabbing weapons if miss-used. Some are just an angled tip cannula now for safety in surgical procedures. Someone has been using the spike bayonet holders for putting them into it looks like.
They are used in embalming processes as well as relieving cow and horse bloat by veterinarians. Hope this helps. |
