sharp enough to shave with, and not brittle.
everything else is just a bonus. |

Bayonet is a fine weapon so long as you don't put it on a rifle.
Thing about bayos is they have a habit of getting wedged, especially in the torso. Intersting note, Japan has a martial art called Jukendo which is devoted to the bayonet. Very much like Kendo only instead of mock swords they use mock rifles and practice slashes and thrusts according to Kendo rules. |

honestly? a full tang version of the sog desert dagger in stainless steel. that's really it. That'd be the ultimate bayonet.

The ideal bayonet?
Any bayonet that's buried to the hilt in the stomach of any Islamic fanatic. |

Anything with teflon coating. Keeps the enemy from sticking when you roast them on the camp fire.

My ideal bayonet comes with an endless supply of ammo. That way, I never need the bayonet.

Yup, it's kinda of a blend of kendo and sojutsu (spear fighting). It was mostly a product of WW2. |

My features that I would like:
Fixed blade obviously, probably modified recurve (Think Benchmade Skirmish) on the primary edge, with a modified spear/tanto point, with the spear part on the primary edge, and the tanto coming back up to the secondary edge, with a sharpened half back edge, but with the lower back half of the blade flat so I can choke up and use fine control. (Thumb on spine.) Positive retention is a must. (Read: Grippy somewhat thick handle, perhaps conforming.) Don't want a real pretty steel, Id like to beat the hell outta this knife. (Bead blasted finish or some dark finish.) Primary edge needs to afix facing down. I do like that SOG, and I hate the M9, I have one....just doesn't feel real quality. It has had QC issues throughout its entire service life from what I'm told. John |

preferably NO serrations. Serrations tend to increase your chances of getting the bayo stuck in the chest bone. The germans from WWI have experience with that (sawback bayo). I would imagine that the degree sharpness isn't critical, but a good strong metal is.
Personally, when I go on drive-by bayonettings, I prefer a blade with the edge pointing up. |

I'm curious, what difference does it make if the edge is point up (like an AK) or down (like an AR)? Is there a purpose one way or the other, or is it just a convenience thing?

Sharp, pointy, and a minimum of 16" of cold steel.

Well, Id imagine, (not having been trained in the use thereof - yet) that it would have something to do with the manner in which you are able to yank up or shove down once you stick it in, and also with the mechanical strength of the attachement to the weapon.

Believe it or not, the French MAS-36 bayonet. Cruciform, long, but unfortunately French. This one is actually 4 sided and has a point, unlike the 3 sided screwdriver tipped chicom SKS and Type 56 folding bayonets. Bayonet ain't supposed to be no knife, and cruciform makes a nastier wound. A + shaped cross section, 14" long blade, full tang, G-10 or Micarta handle.
Hmm, or no handle, just an M1913 picatinny mount, or a socket mounted on the picatinny rail so's the Bayonet don't innerfear, I mean interfere with the accuracy of the barrel. Ooooooooo, you could mount one on ALL 4 RAILS!!! I'm actually gonna make one of these, from an old MAS -36 bayonet. |

If you are going to carry weight, leave the bayonet and take an extra magazine. As long as I have cartridges, there is not going to be any bayonet fighting.

i think the bayonet should be a lightweight simple affair, so that if it gets lost or broken it's no big deal. (the soldier should carry a quality utility knife to back it up.) yes, it means the soldier will have to carry two knives, but the hardware necessary to mount a bayonet compromises the blade design somewhat. i'd rather see the soldier have a quality belt knife than a crappy *do it all* bayonet like the M-9 that weighs a ton.
i like the SKS bayonet for a no frills pig sticker. much less likely to get stuck and very sturdy. there were some fighting dirks with this type of blade used during WWII. I've thopugh about buying a bunch of old SKS bayonets and putting handles on them. Yeah, they dont have an edge, but they do have a very long blade for thier size and weight. gives you more reach than, say, a kabar. |

+1 on the MAS36 "+" style or SKS/Mosin Nagant "T" spike. The AK wire cutter bayo is interesting but is a jack of all trades/master of none. I'd rather have a dedicated set of wire cutters, a fighting knife & a cruciform bayo for the rifle.
Or just ditch the empty/hopelessly jammed rifle & grab your E-tool with one or more edges filed down. An improvised axe vs an improvised half assed spear. |

After stabbing some critters with SKS-type bayonets, I'd have to say they suck. They don't cause as rapid of blood loss as a blade and you can't slash with them to improve blood loss.
The integral bayonet on a bolt action MAS that I saw is similar, only thinner. I would nix that too. Besides being too similar to the Chicom spike, It reminds me of the original Springfield 1903 spike bayonet - the one that Teddy Roosevelt snapped in half with a parry. |

long. at least as long as the longer WW2 version for the M1 garand.
a little extra reach is good |

Bayonet vs. Knife are two entirely different animals. The current M9 sucks as a bayonet because they attempted to make a field knife/bayonet - and its not "great" at either task. A bayonet should be just that - a blade designed as an extension of one's body via the rifle. A spike bayonet is probably superior to a standard blade for the basic principle of killing - I have no personal experience with bayonet a person - just bayonet training I once did in Basic lol........but I do know the Brits recently used bayonets in the War on Terror when they completely ran out of ammo. And they called a whole LOT of Iraqis doing it.
