I remember seeing these......and laughing at how big and heavy they were (with a rat tail tang and slim handle) Ended up running around with a Glock knife and a OKC3S with the EGA wrapped over with tape😂 Would have made more sense ordering them after the Marines got them designed

It's lighter to just carry an m7 in its scabbard PLUS a wire cutter than carry just M9 in its scabbard.

Polska guroooom

Some guy at a military surplus store was selling an M8A1 scabbard for $80 USD, thoughts?

What about scabbards? My original WW1 scabbard is looking like a crumpling brownie (Leather or whatever is on the British WW1 scabbard)

How do you use the metal clip on the top to attach this scabbard to a belt?

Were these bayonets used for WW2?

I have a rusty M1 that's the AFH dated 1943. It tricked me bc it looked uncut yet dated which is extremely rare but I think it was cut, just very well done

Many South Korean soldiers call these bayonets teddy bears because of the shape of the pommel. Does Australia have such a nickname associated with bayonets?

Have you actually seen examples that do not have “… PATS PEND.”?

2:55 had me rolling. 😂

This bayonet model, absolutely polished, is still in use in Spain by the Guardia Civil (Civil Guard) and Ejército del Aire (Air Force) in ceremonial parades. Thanks for the video.

Right ear audio only let's gooooo

How do you date them or know when they were used? Ww1 vs Ww2 etc

I received one today, would love to know the year? And were to get the frog

I carried both. The M9 is unnecessary.

It’s like a less bulky m9 bayonet

It's not a war crime if you have a fun time

Buen video, la bayoneta del Cetme C es muy resistente, aguanta el maltrato sin problemas.🔪🔪🔪👍😎Saludos.

D k. I just want to know how the baynot works...

Sapper, military Engineer’s bayonet

Isn’t this by definition a ersatz bayonet.

whenever i want to buy a bayonet i look it up on your channel to see a review and there is always one so much appreciation for that

definitely a grail bayonet - very awesome to see!

Not arguable. Proven The best AK variant. And that knife If sharp AF.

How did I miss this gem ? Nice video….great info.

Very interesting bayonet, a dagger that can be mounted on a rifle. I always thought that the AR-10 bayonets were the same of that from the M14 and M16 (M6, M7, M8, M9).

Could you do a video Brother on all your Cold War bayonets so far 👍🏻🇦🇺

Nice picked one up without a scabbard for $30

The English did a horrible thing, the rifle is a disaster of failures, more than 80 modifications. And the hideous and non-functional bayonet.

These also come with shortened p1907 blades,the cross guards sometimes have a v short Quillon, more an extension, really.they always seem to be labelled as ersatz bayonets.

In collector circles they call that wood scrap/epoxy mix "beaver barf."

the German FAL was made for the west German border guard?

The reason that no bayonets were surplussed with rifles is that the West German G1 never had a bayonet. The Turks are a blade culture, so when they received the G1 rifles from West Germany, they fixed that shortfall. The Turk G1 bayonets were purpose made not modified from pre-existing bayonets. I own a G1 and a Turk bayonet. My bayonet was re-finished along with the rifle, and it is now Parkerized dark gray. The reason it has 2 muzzle rings is because the barrel has no conventional bayonet lug. The two rings hold the bayonet onto the flash hider and the latch fits over the grenade launching lug.

The blade was probably recycled from one of the many versions of the Turkish M1935 Mauser bayonet. I have one of those Mauser ones and the blade profile looks identical except mine has a deep fuller on its absurdly thick blade. Maybe the shiny polish is because they ground them flatter for the FAL?

was the scabbard and hilt blued intentionally or just left blackened from the forge?

Swiss army knife/ bayonet

The dent on your m7 is why I'll pick the m9

The portuguese have a history of black blades. Look up the Carracks Black Sword. all the way from the 1400's

That's cool 😎

As an ex English soldier i can honestly say its shit

Damn, I had no idea. Slick.

That is not a real bayonet the L3A1 bayonet is actually good and works in stressful situations

I have a 1917 pattern, identical to the one in the video. I did not know about the button on the handle, makes sense.

Check and the fin ones are the best

Looks Identical to my Russian one!

What would that sell for in USD ?

Very cool

Its a feature not a secret.

How much is an original sg42 worth?
