It's a M9 Bayonet, what more could you want

No branding, makes any decoration easier comes with a sheath that is reasonably secure Blade is soft enough to be safe (possibly too much so) the blade has some sort of latex or such outer coating that scratches off on the blade, which I found out after I had slashed someone's rig and left a black line across them.Ĭan't tell if a pro or con, but the blade is LONG, just over 6 inches The sheath's wire cutter is a nice touch, but the bolt actually ground off part of the blade's rig, so I wouldn't try it if you want your blade to stay pristine. Photos are of the bayonets as is and should be a good indication of the condition you will receive.This is a decent knife, lightweight and easy to carry although the blade is made of a pretty easily warped and scratched rubber, the build quality seems to be good enough for something that you will only occasionally need to pull out. Mild rust spots may be present on the cross guard from storage. Bayonets will be coated with Cosmoline preservative.

Resilient, easy-to-sharpen, carbon-steel blade.The difference should largely be noted by collectors - if you just want to beat the crap out of your knife, Type 2 is the way to go, but if you want something with a little more "retro appeal," Type 1 is for you. The remainder are the more common "Type 2" configuration, which appeared toward the end of the Cold War.īesides the slight differences in appearance and materials, both Type 1 and Type 2 are functionally identical. Of the stock available, roughly 25% is of the early "Type 1" configuration featuring a distinctive leather sheath and rounded Bakelite pommel. More notably, a distinctive, oblong cut in the blade allows the sheath to be attached to create a pair of wire cutters - a functional and expedient feature, but a bit risky if you're not paying attention. All are in great condition and will come with a liberal coating of Cosmoline preservative.ĭesigned to be a robust multi-tool in the field, each bayοnet features a sawblade spine for processing small firewood and constructing shelters. We have a limited quantity of East German Bayοnets available.
