Well, been meaning to do this for some time.
Firstly, you might wonder what Russian AKM bayonets have to do with the current German Eickhorn Can-Bayonet 2000 concept.
Think I've been sniffing too much CLP?
Read on.............
I first read about this in Brassey's Infantry Weapons, published 1975 LCCC No. 74-20627.
The first bayonet pictured appeared 50 yrs ago for the Russian AKM rifle.
This bayonet is known as a Type I AKM bayonet and was made at the Izhevsk Factory in the fomer Soviet Union.
Note the blade design and wire cutting concept.
