Knife bayonet to the AK-47 automatic rifle based on Bulgarian copy of knife bayonet 6×5

The knife bayonet is a seriously modified model of the Bulgarian 6X5 model. The bayonet to the AK47 differs from the prototype by its handle and mounting system, having the same blade and sheath.
The bayonet blade is single-blade, covered with silver matte coating. The combat end is two-bladed. On the shoe of the blade there is a notch in the form of teeth, allowing the bayonet to be used as a saw. In the front of the blade there is a rectangular hole that allows attaching the bayonet to the sheath and using the construction as a cutter. The handle is plastic, black, with three transversal ribs for easy holding. The mountings on the automatic rifle consist of a snap-on ring and a spring-loaded latch at the cross, as well as two semicircular brackets at the head of the handle. The scabbard is coated with black plastic throughout its length, except for the part used as a cutter. The carrying strap is made of fabric.

On the sheath and handle there is a mark of the factory “Arsenal” in the form of a number 10 in two circles and a number of foundry molds. On the sheath there are also ink stamps. The stamps of the technical control department and the numbers are missing.
