Wartech H-16M M7 Bayonet Knife with Sheath, 13",Metal

This is a replica item, not of the same quality as original USA manufacture. The M10 scabbard is not a milspec M10 scabbard, even though it has typical military manufacture markings and looks and works great. The knife looks solid, heck even looks better than the new mil-spec knives I have. It is not sharpened however, even at the point. I’ve not sharpened it, and may never do so, so I can’t judge the steel. The fit of the knife is loose around the flash hider, so the mounted knife has more play in it than the mil-spec knife. That’s its most annoying aspect for me.You don’t use this knife as a field knife, heck you don’t want to use the mil-spec one either for field work, it’s a bayonet. Sole purpose is to be “pointy” and stick people. For a wall hanger, which is my purpose, it’s great for the money. As a field knife, it’s not as useful. My rating is based upon the look and feel and mostly the price point of the knife. A genuine M7 bayonet with scabbard will set you back perhaps $150 give or take. They get more rare by the day.

For a $27 knife this is a great value for the price. As a bayonet, with the normal wobble on the barrel that these all will have on a carbine, it fit perfect on my AR.As a knife it comes pretty dull, but I have no problem sharpening this type of steel (a bit soft) and keeping sharp. The sheath is OK. The plastic part is great. The strap is not as ideal but will serve the purpose. However, I replaced with heavier weight strap and changed the snap to a cord lock with para-cord. Took about 10 minutes and $1.00 in materials. Now it is just as I prefer.be it as a bayonet or just utility knife you can spend way more on one of these. if you want and ordinal or a higher end knife there are plenty of better options. However, for the price and overall durability of the knife, for my purposes this knife will do the trick just fine.

Knife is good quality but mine came with a totally dull, never sharpened cutting edge. Not a problem as I have a vertical belt sander that made sharpening this knife a breeze, but if all you have is a sharpening stone, go ahead and grab a Snicker's bar, cuz you're going to be there awhile!Update: This knife sharpened to a real nice, razor sharp edge, the 440 stainless is no BS!

For a copy of an m7 it fits the bill. The blade is threaded to a rod in the handle and the end piece uses an Allen screw into the same rod. It's great If you want to cut down the grip like I did. Sheath is a cheaper plastic but seems ok and the belt loop/blade retainer nylon is thin and flexible compared to surplus or a new okc m7.

its $30 so dont be expecting the world. but works great for my purpose. I have a wall hanger m16 that i thought would look great with a bayonet attached. a real m7 bayonet is upwards of $200 and i didnt feel it was necessary given my goals. fit great without issue and looks the part. super cheap too.

For its size its heavy compared to a certain bayonet from a certain European country where they think they make the best of everything. The heaviness of this Chinese copy of an American battle knife makes it feel more effective and and solid. I have a lot of knives and I really like this one.

I collect all sorts of knives, swords and bayonets. Real and replica it makes no difference to me as long as the price is correct. Sheath looks real US military but the cloth webbing is very flimsy. Knife has no sharpening to speak of and yes bayonets are not cutting weapons but most replicas tend to be somewhat sharp. This will need to be stone wheel ground if you want to use it for survival. It's a must have for any collector and collection. Made is China.

Outwardly it's similar to the US version but it is not the same. It has no edge at all! I doubt it could cut soft butter. The attaching mechanism does work, but for how long? It's incredibly fragile feeling, like the tiny springs inside will break or turn sideways thus rendering this inoperable on a rifle. Also the sheath has a very thin woven nylon belt loop. It's thin in both the thickness and the width. The seams are barely sewn, so I think it will not hold up to actual use.If it was a little bit lower in price, maybe this would be adequate for show-only, not actual use. As is, I wouldn't recommend this one.
