SZCO Hunting Knife 15.75 Inch - Camping Knife with ABS Handle & Blood Groove Stainless Steel Blade - Outdoor Knife for Hiking, Camping & Outdoor Uses

Great product and value. Design is great and weight as expected — used for a military plaque. Functionality seemed as expected, while grip was as expected and fit was as expected.

No fault of the seller. My AMAZON search for an M1 'CARBINE' Bayonet lead to this one, and a couple others that were in no way for any M1. It is what it is, CHICOM made and very good looking out of the box, CAN'T SPEAK TO QUALITY. Was not for the M1 Carbine. The Family Gifted Grandpa 'Poppy' a re-worked M1 Garand for Christmas. He used one in NAVY service in the early years of VIETNAM. This bayonet made a nice addition to that gun. I have not seen it in place, but am informed it fit perfect. I bought it with a gift card I got for Christmas, (no real cost to me) and received it fast enough to get it to Poppy the Saturday after Christmas, when his family had their gathering. We're all happy with the purchase. The one I need is a bit more expensive than this, and I may have to settle for a used one. My Bad. The 'SEARCH' may lead us to something, double check the full description and name of product.

I gave it four stars based on the fact it’s a tad out of spec and as a result will not fit flush to the gas block of my m1 . 1/4 inch gap leaves it really shaky but I never intended this to be used I wanted for aesthetic purposes only and that it’ll achieve just fine.. when it arrived it was painted with a thick coat of black I stripped it to bare metal and since it’s stainless steel steps have to be taken to get it to take blue or in my case birch wood Casey aluminum black. Add 75% vinegar 15% hydrogen peroxide and 10% salt bring to almost boiling and let the part soak for a few hours then start applying the black.. you’ll have to repeat steps multiple times carding the build up off with steel wool in between boils .. I’m very pleased with this bayonet feels sturdy takes a edge and fits the roll I intended

Good knife, used it while camping. Nice metal sheath, a little to shinny for me, so just sprayed painted with a dull flat green paint

decent quality and good price. Fit my 1903 Springfield rifle without any problems....it was a bit tight at first but eventually wore in after just a few times attaching it to the bayonet lug. The bayonet appears to be very rugged and usable. Stainless steel all the way. I was going to reblue it after sanding the black finish off and wanted to try antiquing the blade and handle but stainless steel doesn't blue.....so anyway, I left some black finish in the hard to reach areas and that gave it a pretty good aged appearance.....and I intentionally made several dings and scratches on it to help match the aged rifle appearance. I would recommend this for those who don't want to spend a small fortune. It does make the rifle look complete.....I think most people would be pretty pleased with this item. Note: the black handle panels are a pretty good attempt to replicate the original Bakelite material but these are brittle. One side of the handle broke in half with not much pressure......so be careful if you ever remove the handle grips from the bayonet.

I wanted a bayonet for my M1 that I received from the CMP, but I wasnt really prepared to shell out the money for a real deal surplus bayonet. They can go for some serious coin. That, and I really dont >need< a bayonet. It seems very sturdy and well built and afixed to my rifle easily. The scabbard locks in nicely and fits on a GI issued ammo belt. As far as "toughness", I have no idea...I havent charged the beaches of Omaha or fought of a horde of charging Japanese....so I have no idea how well it will hold up to "real use". It is stainless steel, so I doubt overly well. But, for the looks and the price, it was a good purchase.

The product description clearly states it comes with a metal sheath. That is the reason I choose this product over other similar products. Well, it is not metal and it is not fiberglass...it is cheap plastic. The first time I inspected it one of the locking hooks fell off...and yes I was depressing the unlocking button while removing the bayonet. So once again I am returning an item that was not what I ordered. See below: " Product Description This M1 Bayonet by Szco Supplies is 15.75" in overall length. The blade is made on black finish stainless steel and has a blood groove. The handle is black with fastening mechanism. This bayonet comes with a metal sheath. "

I bought this to use on a Denix wall hanger. That means it probably is not the best for a real M1 since the bayonet lug on the Denix is larger than a real M1. On the other hand, this is probably a more accurate repro than the Denix M1. Most Denix repros do not have the markings of the real weapon, but they are good wall hangers or movie props. The bayonet does come marked. Not really an expert on the US weapons, but this looks fairly good to me. I added the pictures so that you can make up your mind as to how accurate this is. It looks realistic enough for me. Someone asked about the China marking and I added a pic of that. I also added a pic of the bayonet attached to the Denix. Someone mentioned that the bayonet was loose on his M1, which makes sense. It is a bit tight on the Denix, but it fits. That is useful if you want this for reenacting using the Denix (yeah, I know that's not perfect or recommended, but some people do use Denix for reenacting). Anyway, I posted pics so you can make up your own mind if this fits your needs. Remember a real bayonet can set you back quite a bit, which is why this meets my needs (1) display item that was (2) inexpensive. Your needs may be different from mine, but I hope this was useful.

Decent reproduction. Good quality

Nice REPRODUCTION bayonet, good quality and fits the m1 garand perfectly. Im going to buy another one, the price paid is super worth even if you dont have a gun to put it on

Pretty good replica for the money. Fits my M1 Garand fairly well but with a bit of play as the muzzle ring is a bit big for my Garand. Would be really nice if the scabbard was made of steel rather than plastic.

If ya got a garand, get this. It’s a copy ofcourse, but it’s 100% & needed a little fitting to be perfect. Worth.

You get what you pay for, cheap Chinese made bayonet, for price it’s worth it. It’s fine.
