The guys at Behring Made did a fantastic job. Great looking knife.

Warren,

A great blade...gotta get me one.

A wondrous transformation. It went from being a very cool and serious bayonet (those sawteeth look fierce; I can only imagine that whoever designed it meant to inspire fear in those on the receiving end) to looking like it was the short sword carried by Captain Nemo during his undersea excursions from the Nautilus (elegant yet efficiently functional).

What a great job of re-imagining the blade and executing on their vision by James and Grant.

Really nice stag. Did you supply or did BMK supply? Is that a walrus spacer? Are you having custom sheath made for it?

Sorry for all the questions, but it's such a cool looking piece and inquiring minds want to know. Congrats on another Behring masterwork!

Bob,

I did send James a couple of pieces of crown stag but they were a bit too large. James though this was a better fit. And yes I believe that is a FWI spacer. I'm putting some ideas together for leather. Not sure what it looks like yet.
Sawteeth are incredibly sharp. They are the real deal

Gotta Love Teeth. Beautiful modification. Robert Parrish made similar teeth on his 8" blade survival knives.

Yes quite similar Eric and designed to work on the pull stroke.

Warren, I read somewhere that back in WWI if you were captured carrying one of these saw-back bayonets....things went very badly for you very quickly. The Brits and French thought they were too barbaric. I love teeth.

Here's some information and facts about the bayonet.

Good start to the weekend see that bad boy! Awesome work and end result!!!

Thanks Steve and happy weekend to you too.

Warren,
You certainly have an eye for unique blades. Seeing that bayonet takes me back to a German WWI vintage one I saw as a teen. I thought that thing was bad-ass when I was 15. I've never seen another like it until now. Great concept, beautiful stag handle. I fully expected to see some type of sword cane set up with that handle and blade combo
