I posted this on another thread, but not where many could see it.

Anyway, surplus USMC issue OKC3S bayonets are on sale for 39.99 at Midway.

These are fair condition, but still a rare low price on these decent knives.

These are a good deal.

I like these better than the Army's M9s.

That is an excellent price on that bayo. Many consider it the finest .mil bayo in history.

I'm personally partial to World War 1 era sword bayonets, myself.

Well, mine came in. May be the best knife deal I have run across, at least as far as my tastes are concerned. The one I got was at the high end of "fair" condition, in my opinion. A little surface rust from the sheath retainer, which wiped of with steel wool. A LOT of fine sand everywhere. Sheath is very dry, hilt was slightly discolored from sun exposure in a couple places, but cleaned up very well. Blade was grinder-sharpened, so it was sharp, but has a rough edge. No nicks that won't stone out.

It's more like a good knife that happens to have the ability to attach to a rifle than a traditional bayonet.


It's certainly more useful for outdoors work than the old M7 bayonets.

I ordered 2, should be in Monday. Hope mine looks as good as those, well worth the money if so.

So how did they look?

Overall pretty good, just like yours. Snap is broken on one sheath, but for my uses that won't be a big deal.
