this is an m1 bayonet produced by the same afh.
The channels on the side of the blade exist to reduce the weight of the blade while maintaining it's strength. This function has been incorrectly perpetuated for many many years as a "Blood Groove". ;)

so what did you drag me into it for?
i know that, just didn't feel like splitting hairs.
Re: FIX BAYONETS!!! Show your firearms with bayos
Heh. I had actually read exact web page already.
Hence the quotes around my use of the word "blood groove". ;)
Besides, if I said "groove left behind after removing a portion of steel for the sole purpose of reducing weight" I may have confused everyone else on earth that believes it's a blood groove.
This could be as bad as clip vs mag. :D

Re: FIX BAYONETS!!! Show your firearms with bayos
NOthing here.
All the barrels on all my guns are too short to properly attach a bayo to.

Really? This one is 11.5, sorry no M4 hand guards still... I'm sure you could mount a bayo to your Uzi couldn't you?
