Nice colorization. It is btw the first time I notice those big knifes.

Bayonetts in shiny scabbards. If a big man would accidentally sit on one of those sideways, while pinned against a hard surface, the scabbard could bend a little, making it really difficult to withdraw the bayonet. Oh, it was all so heroic! Cheers, ELK.
