This
knife is used/issued by United States Marine Corps
Designed to Marine Corps Military specifications for attachment to M16
rifles, this bayonet features a black coated clip-point blade of a
proprietary carbon steel formula, with a small 1-3/4" serrated section
at the base of the blade and a sharpened upper swedge. The grooved
handle is very grippy and resilient, for use with or without gloves. The
hard sheath with strapdown loops has drain holes for amphibious use, an
embedded ceramic-coated aluminum sharpener on the back, and a sturdy
ballistic nylon harness for attachment to load bearing equipment in
multiple ways.
Handle is marked with USMC on one side (and on blade base) and 'globe
and anchor' logo on reverse. Brown color is designed to match both
woodland and desert camouflage schemes as well as to reduce IR
signature.
