The history of the U.S. military bayonet with scabbard began with early models like the M1905, which was later shortened for use with the M1 Garand rifle, and the M4, M5, and M6 bayonets designed for carbines and other rifles. These were progressively replaced by the M7, introduced with the M16 rifle in 1964, and the versatile M9, adopted in 1984 for multi-purpose use and with a scabbard that doubled as a wire cutter. The U.S. Marine Corps later received its own specific model, the OKC3S bayonet, marking a new era of specialized bayonets.

Used U.S. Military Bayonet knife with Scabbard. $110 plus shipping and handling.

The history of the U.S. military bayonet with scabbard began with early models like the M1905, which was later shortened for use with the M1 Garand rifle, and the M4, M5, and M6 bayonets designed for carbines and other rifles. These were progressively replaced by the M7, introduced with the M16 rifle in 1964, and the versatile M9, adopted in 1984 for multi-purpose use and with a scabbard that doubled as a wire cutter. The U.S. Marine Corps later received its own specific model, the OKC3S bayonet, marking a new era of specialized bayonets. 

A U.S. Military bayonet with scabbard serves as a close-quarters combat weapon, a heavy-duty field knife for survival/utility tasks (cutting, sawing, prying), and a multi-tool, especially newer models like the M9, where the scabbard itself functions as a wire cutter (even electrified barbed wire) and sharpener, transforming a rifle into a formidable close-range weapon or a versatile survival kit. 
Primary Uses:
  • Combat: Affixes to rifles (M16, M4) to extend reach for stabbing/slashing in close-quarters engagements, turning a firearm into a spear.
  • Field Utility Knife: Functions as a robust hand knife for general tasks like cutting rope, preparing food, or making shelter.
  • Wire Cutter: Modern scabbards (like the M9’s) often have a hole and protrusion that, when used with the blade, snip wire, including insulated or barbed wire.
  • Saw: The spine of many bayonets, such as the M9, features saw teeth for cutting wood or light metal.
  • Prying/Digging: Can be used for minor breaching or digging in survival situations.
  • Sharpening: The scabbard often integrates a sharpening stone to maintain the blade’s edge. 
Key Models & Features:
  • M7/M6 Bayonets: Older, simpler designs used with M16/M14 rifles, primarily for combat and utility.
  • M9 Bayonet: A significant upgrade, featuring a clip-point blade, sawback, and a scabbard designed for wire cutting, making it a true multi-tool.
  • OKC3S (USMC): The current Marine Corps bayonet, inspired by the Ka-Bar, also designed for multi-purpose use with serrations and a honing rod on the scabbard
