Favourite Knife M7 bayonet

My favorite wilderness survival knife is a modified M7 bayonet I got many years ago off ebay ($19). I removed the top section of the knife that would normally connect to the rifle barrel and drilled a hole for a lanyard in the metal under the barrel clip. It works great!

I have used it for making lean-tos, opening cans, cutting... whatever. It is a tough knife (especially if kept sharp). The US gov't spent a couple of million $$ developing that knife. It was used by the troops in Viet Nam and it works great in the Ontario north woods as well!!

The knife is damage proof. I left the tang with the rifle barrel hole so I could use it to make a spear if needed to fish or whatever. It is non-slip grip and if you get it with the sporty sheath (versus the ugly military sheath) it looks not bad as well.

Try it... you might be surprised that a quality knife, with a bit of history to it, doesn't need to be expensive!!
