Not sure if this is the correct group to ask on but if anyone does have knowledge on old military knives your input would be appreciated.

The main reason why I'm doubting this is real is because their is no mould marking on the handle, from the blade grind this looks to be a post war made knife but the makers mark C. Clarke & Son, Sheffield England on the pommel is also throwing me off as Clarke as far as I know didn't make many of the Sykes daggers and the ones that do show up have military marks on them meaning they were made during the wartime production, I can't find any examples of a post war Clarke dagger so if anyone could help or direct me to a group or forum that is more inclined to old military sharp edge weapons if appreciate it.

Google image search says they are cold stone chisels but I'm not too sure about that, all from holtzapffel & Co.

Any guidance would be appreciated as to what these are used for.

Just finishing up installing my new system into my rig and just want to ask what others think would be a better battery option to go for.

I only have one 6s lipo that's starting to puff out a bit and needs to be replaced but I'm leaning towards rather using two 4s batteries in an 8s dual configuration as the 2 4s 5000mah batteries will cost the same as the single 6s battery, would this be a wiser option?

I don't really like using dual plugs but figure it would be better to rather hard solder the dual plugs onto the Esc than use an adaptor, I will definitely either reduce the punch on the esc or reduce the power level on the transmitter as my tyres definitely won't handle 8s.

What would you do in this situation as I've never run a system this big before and would prefer to get the soldering done in one go instead of coming back and doing the soldering again if I wanted to rather use a dual plug system, my soldering iron struggles with these 12 gauge wires and has made me dislike soldering them to an extent.
