Thanks for the kind words everyone. I think the combo will look AMAZING once the cabinet is finished.

Accuracy reasons mostly.

These accuracies. Thank you good sir.

That's one of the many reasons I bought the sword to begin with. Although I have no kids now, I might have at least one or two in the future, and I've got a few interesting oddities to pass down to them. More specifically my Marine Corps NCO sword, and my Ka-Bar i carried during the Iraq invasion, and for another tour in Ramadi 3 years later.
