I have the same model however totally unmarked. I assume ADF ordered this version from Eickhorn without any modification hence both the commercial and the Aussie models are the same except the painted markings on the webbing

Depends what Skennerton book you read as too which one the Aussie’s used😂I believe that is the correct version.

I give him a pass on that, British and commonwealth bayonets was published in 84. He would not have had access to the correct one so any kcb77 would do. Then 4 years later in 200 years of australian military rifles he posts a picture of the above type. Labelled as a part of the singleton infantry museum

Great video! I was disappointed for you when you said had borrowed it. The way it separates from the frog like the Kalashnikov and M9 bayonets is interesting. I was always told that was so you don't have to remove the hanger from the load bearing equipment/belt. The blade does seem a bit worse for wear doesn't it? I was a little surprised to see that. Is t carbon steel? Will it keep an edge?

It will definitely keep an edge, this one has seen a lot of use but my long one is razor sharp. I imagine it would have to be a high carbon steel, that is certainly consistent with reports that it was brittle
