North
Korean AKM - this
is often mistaken for an AK47 bayonet at
first glance. The scabbard is straight metal
with a permanently attached web hanger with
a leather strap that goes around the knife
handle like an AK47 scabbard. No wire cutter.
The handle of the bayonet is full whiteg
with resin scales like an AK47 handle but,
there are no ears to go around the barrel
and instead there is a bayonet lug slot and
lock button like on any other AKM bayonet.
The blade is Bowie style and has a blood
groove on each side which are not at the
same point in the width of the blade. There
is no wire cutter provision. |
