Russian USSR bakelite bayonet sheath hanging knife with Izhevsk marking

  

This bayonet was used for the legendary AK47 assault rifle in the Soviet-Russian army and some former KGST countries. It can be assembled into a wire cutter that works by connecting the pin at the end of the metal case and the hole in the blade. The blade is made of carbon steel, the handle and case cover are made of bakelite. The handle hanger is missing.

The bayonet and the sheath are not identical, the handle has the warrior's monogram. The bayonet came to me from Ukraine. Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, unfortunately, many russian bayonets have been destroyed. The blade is thinly coated with grease!
