I owned one of these HJ "Honor Bayonets" with etched pommel & blade. It was dual marked W�sthof & Gladiator. The knife was heavy in hand, very well made with exquisite detailing to the etch.

After owning it for a number of years, I believe for a variety of reasons that it was an early version of an HJ knife, prior to standardization.

The pommel was etched with a fine HJ motif. Although some have been seen with painted details, this one had no evidence of any paint.
