AKM

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

The North Korean AKM bayonet departs from the typical AKM bayonet patterns used by most countries. It is a hybrid of sorts, retaining many of the features of the AK-47 bayonet, with a different pommel to allow mounting to the AKM.

The fullered clip-point blade is also a hybrid of the AK-47 and AKM designs. Tortoise shell plastic grip scales.   Steel scabbard with green web belt hanger and leather hilt strap.

North Korean pattern AKM bayonets used by Cuba had scabbards with tan webbing, instead of green.

This example has seen considerable use and had bits of vegetation caught in the web belt hanger. 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.
