SZCOM1 Bayonet Knife

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 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.

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 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.

This is a reasonably decent replica, in that it fits an M1 rifle and has correct dimensions. It's also about half the price of a USGI bayonet, so that's a major plus. However, you don't get USGI quality for Chinese replica price.Out of the box, it can't really be used for anything: the finish is a semigloss black, not the correct medium to dark grey parkerizing, so it doesn't look right on an M1 rifle. If you leave the sheath on, though, it could pass at a quick glance.It is made in China of 440 stainless, so it can't be parkerized, nor will it take and hold a very good edge.I'll disassemble this bayonet, strip the semigloss black, and respray with Duracoat or Alumahyde. Can't do anything about the steel, but it will look better.If you just want a bayonet and aren't too picky about accuracy or durability, it's a good buy. If you want a "correct" bayonet for your M1 rifle, this is not it.

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

I got this as I would hope to use it as a general purpose hunting/ camping knife and I've always liked the M9 style. The color promised was dark green. The one I received was light blue. The handle was loose and came apart right out of the box. Hoping I could salvage it and reassemble I saw the tang of the plastic handle was a single 1/8" -3/16" steel rod with a single weld on the blade, The thread was difficult to catch to reassemble. To see if it was worth it I tried to mount it as a showpiece bayonet on a rifle. No go on that as well. It might serve as a stand alone show piece, but that would be it.

Made in China and you get the Chinese unskilled labor making it. Loose handle, loose scabbard, and low quality. It is sharp and it will cut. I would basically call it a kids toy, "Rambo Knife," but it is very sharp and not a toy. Does not fit over muzzle break of M-16/M-4. Detail of pattern on blade is pretty neat. Returning item.
