Garand Bayonet Hoe

[kpnc2001]

After reading the GCA Magazine about bayonets, I found it interesting that when they were cut down from 16" to 10" that a company made "hoes" out of the scrap 6". Does anyone have one, or seen one? I would love to see or have one for grins.

I believe the scrap blade sections were melted down by Union Fork and Hoe and used for all types of implements they produced.
