I have 3 bayonets and one has to do double duty on the M1 and A3. I would appreciate it if you guys would stop making me look at all these pictures. I keep telling myself that I have enough and then I come here.

i do have one for my M14 type as well - but no current photos , maybe this spring ,
i have never considered myself a bayonet or knife collector - i have friends that are and trust me my minimal accumulation is nothing at all , i do have a few items that were family hand-me-downs from grandparents tho - the pocket knife my paternal grandfather gave me when i was 10 - and the knife i inherited with my maternal grandfathers tool box , and the stuff i collected for fun , my grandkids cowboy belt knife , no photos yet of what hangs on my cowboy belt - one day soon , |

...from time to time I think about finding an intact, mil-config LE, but I spend a lot of time in the bush and i prefer a sporterized model hands-down (no offence to the collectors)...I own a good selection of hunting rifles from .223 through .458 - some are custom...but over the past several years they have all come to sit in the safes here...I take my LE no.4's with me everywhere...I'm an oddity but I am just in love with this rifle and calibre...these are built like tanks, accurate, with enough power for anything local...I'll never buy another modern weapon...
...what knife-blade options are there for no.4 mk.1's? ...a no.9? ...best place to buy for a canuk? ...wouldn't mind trading out my hunting knife for a bayonet ...any upgrades I can do with such a blade? ...better annealing, etc? ...think field use here...

Craig,
The No 9 generally has a good blade as is, its only problem no handle! I solved this on mine by making a handle that locks on using the bayonet latch. That way I have a good hunting knife and a bayonet as well if I wanted one. No 9's can be picked up on fleabay quite readily in Canada or the US. If I get a minute I'll take a picture of mine, but then posting it here might be a bit of a challenge for me. tried it once before & it woulna' work. Shamu, Very pretty pattern there! Best, Richard.

S - WHAT!? no DAMASCUS BAYONET!? (now I can see that you aren't serious at all! )
PB - I was actually cogitating on the need for the sort of mechanism that you describe...one for the hand and one for the end of a walking stick...and good to know about the steel in it as well...

Need a handy-dandy handle for a #9? How about a "Choppa digga" (With apologies to H Beam Piper).
Snag yourself one of these a Pukka Sirhan. British Intrenching tool. One end is a snap-on pickaxe/shovel the other a replica of the Enfield #4's barrel end & bayo lugs. |

My little collection of puncture tools.
Custom blade for playing Cowboy. Elk Antler with black buffalo horn. Spike is stamped No.4 Mk2 with a boxed S for Savage. M1905E1 AFH 1942 with US flaming bomb. Cut by UFH. M6 for the M1A. A gift from a good friend and Nam Vet who had it on his M14. Not expensive or rare, but a treasure all the same.

nice 1905E1 cutdown and cut down M7 scabbard , almost might have thought you bought mine sam AFH convertedd in mid war to M1 length , your m6 is also a match to the one i keep with my M14 type rifle ,
the no4 mk2 is a savage made bayonet produced here for the commonwealth along with the savage rifles

Shamu,
The handy handle for the spike/No 9 is allright, but the trouble was, when you put the handle on, it was generally because you'd been told off to go & poke landmines!......sort of spoil the afternoon if you did it wrong.
