Uh, yeah. That, too. g Make that 2 things I've learned already

A "sheath" is the item that actually covers the blade. The "frog" is the
piece that allows you to attach the sheath to a belt or other object.
Two separate parts.

If you look at newer bayonets the blade is also made to interlock with
the sheath and form a wire cutter.
