I just found another M3 trench knife...blade marked Imperial. Darndest thing, the blade is bent...At the guard. It just angles about 3 degrees or so from the handle when looking at it edge on.
How could that happen, this is hardened steel. Just to check I put it in a vice and bent the blade back and of course it sprung right back to its 3 degree angle. As good hardened steel should.
Could it have been like this since it was made??? I can't see how this could happen in the field. :?:
