I am a USMC veteran and I have used many knives and a few bayonets in the field from ranging from the old school M7 to the M9, the infamous Kabar and numerous iterations of other OKCs, Benchmade, Gerber, Strider, Buck and the like. As with all knives, bayonets and tools having their strengths and weaknesses, I have found that this to be the best balance of jobs that you can use this for without failing and having the confidence that you can tackle anything that presents itself. First and foremost this tool is designed as a tool for conflict, but it can function as a survival and or bushcraft knife (This will strike and cast sparks from a Ferro rod) effectively if it has to. Having worked with this tool before, I have never had anything that I felt more comfortable and confident to work with if I had to go back onto the field of battle, use fishing and hunting, bushwhacking, or as a general camp chore knife. It is a full tang bayonet and by far surpasses the M7 and M9 (M9 is not a full tang). When I was back in I had a Kabar for a very long time before the OKC3S and I personally believe that the OKC3S has surpassed the modern made Kabar in terms of reliability and durability. This old Marine would choose the OKC3S over the Kabar…. But in a regular knife configuration as called the Chimera by OKC, please stay away from the Chimera as it is not full tang, but a rat tang. You can’t go wrong with the OKC3S!Read full review

Standard issue bayonet to USMC,not razor sharp out of box but you dont need a bayonet to be razor sharp. Will work well as a camp utility knife. Has good grip , not as ergonomic as a classic ka-bar but will get the job done. Will make a great buck up knife on a camping trip, also great for buttoning , this thing was make like a tank. A good collectors item too but make no mistake this is fully functional, if your lost in the jungle for 20 years you wont go wrong with this bayonet by your side.

Great quality. Sheath is also of good quality. Seems durable and arrived sharp. Was debating KBar vs this style and I am glad I went this route as scabbard is better and the fact that this is a bayonet also sealed the deal.

Well made. Blade is sharp. Handle is very comfortable. Balance is great. Sheath is perfect and goes in smoothly and quietly. Recommended for my Mini-14 GBF...fits perfectly and looks awesome.

Great quality and reasonably sharp for a bayonet. Lock up is good on my YHM gas block/folding sight combo. For proper fit, use on Mid-length gas system for standard (16 inch) length carbine.
