Czech Military Surplus VZ57 Bayonet Knife

It was a very good quality bayonet. It comes dull but that is to be expected with wartime stuff of this period. Both the bayonet and the sheath have many miles on them (the sheath is the softest and most broken in leather I've ever felt). Overall a good buy!

This was a strong disappointment to me. The sheath is weathered but still very pliable and in good condition. However, the blade was rusted and pitted very badly. I did not buy it for collecting, I got it for use as a knife in camping or packing around. However it does not clean up, does not sharpen and does not really look functional even. The one in the picture is way better looking, and some reviews got a much better bayonet then I did. Perhaps you will get a better deal, but its a gamble......

I was pretty excited to get this knife but was disappointed when it arrived. The blade was covered in rust, the grips were broken, and the blade was ground off to a very thick round edge. The knife can't even be sharpened. The sheath was in OK condition for being issued. Overall I'm not impressed with this knife at the price.
