Thanks!
I like them a lot. They seem to be very versatile, chop, slice, stab.
One of these does not seem to have been sharpened at all. Were these used unsharpened?
I've just ordered the book "Klewang: Catalogue of the Dutch Army Museum" seems like a very informative book.

my klewang is pretty much razor sharp & shows no sign of any after-mfg. field sharpening - i suspect it was issued that way. the 'false' edge at the clipped point isn't false, it's pretty much as sharp as the rest.
