AKM

Knife bayonet for use with the North Korean Type 68 rifle, a variant of the Kalashnikov AKM assault rifle.

The steel scabbard's web belt hanger measures 4.25 in. (108 mm.) long x 0.875 in. (22 mm.) wide. The tan webbing identifies this scabbard as Cuban. North Korean issue AKM bayonets has scabbards with green webbing.

This example has seen considerable use.  The blade has very neatly had the original clip-point blade profile altered to a spear point and been carefully sharpened. The edges of the pommel and grip scales have also been rounded off to make the bayonet a more effective fighting knife. It likely was taken from Cubans assisting the marxist groups in Grenada, Panama, or Nicaragua, in the 1980's, when the US invasions took place.
