Thanks for the video my friend MILPAR is a good quality brand of knifes I have one M6 Bayonet very good steel very well made. This model it's only for collectors they doesn't work well in the field. Only for emergency use. It's a rat tail knife reserved for easy tasks. The bayonets from MILPAR are virtually indestructible and full tang construction. Thanks for showing this historical pieces.

Thanks for watching my friend! I like the differences available among the common styles of knives and these are well made.

I have a collection of the Camillus and Ontario, I would love to find a MILPAR, thanks for the video

They are out there if you keep your eyes open for them. The hard part is finding them at a reasonable price. Good luck and thanks for watching!

I just snagged one for $85 on eBay

@@capnrob97 Score! With sheath? What condition is it in? Sometimes you can find good knives at good prices on eBay.

thanks! do you know what the the wholes on the hand guard are for? i thought maybe some kind of bayonet but the holen seem to small🤔

The two holes in the hand guards are designed to be used with lashing cords to mount it on a stick to use as a survival spear, according to my dad, who went to the USAF aircrew survival school during the war in Vietnam.
