Any thoughts on the new USMC bayonet?

Mine did nothing but get stolen....YMMV.

I had something along the lines of twenty goats, killed, gutted, and cleaned with my bayo. Never felt like it wasn't working then.

Other than that, not too much use.:smile:

ETA: Not some weird sadistic thing, we needed to eat...

My thinking is that it would make a very good field blade considering the mentioned attributes and could also double as an actual bayonet (although I can't actually see much need for this use).

Anyone else have any thoughts or advice with this one?

For what its worth to you, i own one and have actually used it in the woods for cutting. chooping on 2-3 inch limbs for sometime now and it has held up well. If you are just a weekend woodsman it will do jut fine.

If you just want to stab with it or stick it to the end of a rifle for recreations of Napoloenic warfare, knock yourself out.

Oh I disagree, it was great at opening MRE's :p
