Some years back the late Gun/Knife writer Chuck Karwan made what was called a Kar-Bar. He drilled a lanyard hole in the butt, made the handle washers a little flat on the sides so the handle was an oval shape, and removed the top portion of the guard. A lot more ergonomic and useful after the modifications. John

I forgot Chuck flattened the sides, may have to do that to mine as well.
