Value I have no idea, just an interesting piece from our worn torn past.
Also have a bayonet from an AK-47 , I'm not sure how accurate it is I only brought it for its size, but here is some pics of it

Hi!

Russian military bayonets don't have sign CCCP or AK-47 like your.
Only serial № on blade, scabbard and handle.

for example

May be this is demilitarized Eastern European type, or Chinese, they also produced AK and many other things lol

Cool thanks WM I see yours is the '78 model , that AK-47 one is only chinese and brand new.
Its my 1913 one that is of interest and very expensive ATM

Are those number a unit number or serial number of owner?

Original/ china pic is my Buck[wooden handle]
copy is resin handle, price difference over $140, go figure

The serial numbers will either be matching with the rifle serial number and / or regimental number or the soldier it was issued to.

Those buck knives look good.
Love the damascus steel kit it looks awesome with the swirls etc.

Just ordered a folding lock back DIY kit from the US earlier as well to try my hand at making 1 then will get a fixed blade kit and then design my own.

May need to pick your knowledge TD on template designs :)

mosaic pins make a great finish for a special knife. I just brought 2 small antlers on Ebay for $10 hope to use it

Cheers TD, have registered over at www.iknifecollector.com which is huge international forum / collector base for knives and other things ehich I found last night whilst looking for registered knife collector groups for possible up and coming side project if the minister approves

On the Australian bowhunter forum there was a bloke making knives out of chainsaw chain, they looked bloody awesome similar to the bike chain
