SZCO 15.75" M1 Bayonet Knife with Scabbard – Military Tactical Knife for Army, Marines, Survival, Hunting, and Camping – 9.75” Stainless Steel Blade with Blood Groove – Black Handle and Sheath

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.

I ordered this by accident. It was nicely made and looked good. Made in China so it did not look like it belonged on a vintage US rifle. I returned it.

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

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.

Bayonet knife is very nice. The sheath is plastic and the part on to that the bayonet snaps into broke the first time I used. I had to realign it to knife and JB weld it back together. very poor welding at factory. It works now but disassppointed in the sheath. The knife itself is very nice. Weight is normal, I guess the quality is Chinese.

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.

Mine came already broken. The screw holding the grip together was not attached and the two sides had separated. They also seemed to have been somehow warped because they bowed out and the screw was not long enough to even attach them. I could have found a replacement screw, so I set the grips aside to fit the remainder on my Garand. This bayonet is way too tight and would not seat properly. I spent about twenty minutes trying to get it on without doing irreparable damage to my gun. Not worth it for a cheap piece of junk with "Made in China" slapped on the side of it.

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.
