🔴 Why In The Heck Does One Bayonet Cost Twice As Much As The Other ?

Do they make ar 15 Bayonets? May be dumb question but I never heard of one. I would like to have one.

[@CRSFirearms]

Not a dumb question at all Yes both of these will work on an A.R. 15 But..... you need to have the right barrel length gas system combination 14” carbine length 16” Mid length 20” rifle length

No you could put the M9 on a carbine length it will look like this I’ll post a picture But for a carbine length A.R. 15 you need a bayonet with the 7 inch handle photos.app.goo.gl/sKUvCuHqzqDSn1n57

[@knottheory79220]

If you can find an old surplus M7 bayonet (I have one kicking around somewhere), that will work just fine too. But either of these are probably better if you want something practical that'll actually cut. I mean the surplus one will too but you'll probably have to completely reprofile it, they usually don't come sharp at all.

[@alexbarry689]

@@knottheory79220 a practical bayonet is not a cutting tool at all. That is why they are not sharp. You thrust a bayonet into your enemy twist (develop), recover and repeat. If something needs cut use a knife.

The saw back is not designed to saw through wood and stuff. it's designed to help you escape through sheet aluminum and Plexiglas like in a crashed helicopter.

[@morningstarx5340]

I know its an old video but hopefully by now someone has told you that a blood groove is literally just a way to expand the metal without adding weight. The blood suction thing is a myth and wouldn't work anyway because the groove doesn't extend out to the end of the knife. If anything that design would create slightly more vacuum.

[@Mightylcanis]

Exactly this. The reason a blade gets stuck is because you hit bone, not due to any sort of vacuum sealing.

[@Gator-357]

A bayonete is not a knife and therefore is not supposed to be sharp. Bayonetes are for stabbong, not cutting. When I was in the Army, we weren't allowed to sharpen our bayonetes. The M9 is one of the worst bayonetes ever issued. They are heavy and intended to do too many things. I'd rather have an M7 over an M9 any day. There is also no such thing as a "blood groove" they are called fullers and are meant to lighten the blade while retaining strength. Any other explanation for them is wrong and a myth. There is no vacuum formed when you stab someone and a fuller will not make any difference in the difficulty in pulling the blade out. And the original "saw back" design is not intended to cut wood. It is mainly intended to cut through the thin metal of aircraft skin and to aid in pushing the metal out and away from you using the notches to catch on the edges so you can make a hole to get out through, and to cut through rope and thin vines. It is not made to cut wood and that should be very obvious by it's design. Don't waste your money on an M9 for survi al or hinting purposes, you eill be disappointed. They only offer the "tacticool" factor and are not practical for anything other than their intended uses.

Both the blade and scabbard of the S&W Bayonet look identical to the $35 Wartech Bayonet. I wouldn't be surprised if they're both made by some Chinese OEM.

I remember reading that in a WW2 book too. The author mentioned that one of his buddies asked the drill sergeant why they would be bothering with a bayonet if they still had bullets in the gun. Yeah... he had a rough day after that. Anyway, I think the point was to reload and then fire. It probably worked great for a 30-06 M1 Garand, but would be marginal for a .556 AR.

And the blood grooves thing, that's to build strength to the blade, I don't think anyone that's been stabbed to death ever had a problem with the knife getting stuck 😂

[@IndyRockStar]

I have the S&W bayonet. I've trained and shot a good bit with it attached. Never had an issue. It's actually a pretty sturdy knife. My only complaint is the edge is so thick it is hard to sharpen. Then again, you don't want your bayonet to have a razor edge in case you have to go prone with it attached. Accidents happen.

[@springer-qb4dv]

My question is why does a single Ontario m9 bayonet cost as much as a good shotgun (Maverick 88)? Bayonet is a simple knife no matter how you look at it and it's not complicated to manufacture.

I have an M9 and I took it apart and fit a solid tang via a piece og galvanized pipe fited to the blade tang and a hardened steel roll pin placed through the handle/ pipe. Then I drove the nylon handle over that and added stacked leather over the end with the locking attachment so it is able to fit a carbine AR15. The handle is a little longer and there is no chance of the tang breaking off. Its tough as nails.

Hi ~ Knife Guy again. The Ontario has actual saw potential even with the forward stroke. What the S&W has (and most Rambo knives etc, are Not really for sawing wood or anything else. Most folks think those ridges on the spine are a "Saw", but they are not. All ridged spines like that are copied from the Randall "Survivor" knife from his forge during Viet Nam. What they were made to do is to Rip-out the aluminum sides of downed helicopters. Other blades sometimes have a sort of saw on the spine, (like the old Marble's Pilot Survival knife) but the Big notches ya usually see were put there by Randall for a specific purpose. On a bayonet like the M-9 those ridges would make a horrible "Harpoon" effect. Very nasty. Good Luck ~ You have a great channel. Thanks for all the work you put into it ! B.

the saw works fine for me though, it's not perfect but it works fine. And this is a knife made primarily for killing, and cutting through someones throat, Not sawing wood.

[@CoffeeChaos]

Generally, 400 series (420? 440?) Stainless which the Smith and Wesson are made from is generally considered soft steel, especially when you compare it to 1095. Since they don't list it as an HC (High Carbon) it will be more flexible, in the cold, then say AUS8. 1095 is more durable and will keep an edge longer than 400 stainless, and I gotta say, hundreds, if not thousands of 1095 Kabars have been used and abused over the years, without breaking a tip. It really depends on it it is a clip point, and the grind angle. Ontario Air force survival knives are 1095, and the tip is known for breaking, though I have never broken mine. Victorinox used 420 (and 440?) steel and is considered soft, easily bent, easily dulled. AUS8 is known to be tough stainless, but I have found it to be brittle in the cold, and 1095 to be more forgiving.

[@joshmoerscher3812]

Those serrations on the spine of the Ontario is not a saw, it's meant to shred the top of the wound cavity on the initial thrust to your target, that's why it doesn't cut wood that well, its basically a meat shredder.

Bayonets aren't supposed to be sharp because when you're running, jumping into vehicles, crossing fences, or stacking up in confined areas you don't want to cut yourself or your buds. We always carried a boot knife or something similar in our packs for cutting work and carabiniere cutters for ropes and cigars.

[@OnTheRiver66]

I have an Ontario M9 (used by a military unit) and had no trouble at all getting a good edge on it in 5 minutes. the wire cutter works well and will cut nails and fence wire, but not hardened spring wire. The reason the blade does not go through the handle is so you can cut electrical wire without getting shocked. Also, there is a YT video where someone put the M9 on a rifle, impaled the blade in a block of wood, and bent the knife until it failed. It took a lot of force, leverage, and working back and forth to get the knife to break. That FRP handle is very strong and you will not break this bayonet with your hands.

Put an edge on it all you like it just won’t stay there. I use my okc m-9 to dig up weeds mend fences and throwing it. It’s made the way it is so it’ll be modulated. If one part fails it can be disassembled and replace the part(s) as needed. Ontario bonds the hilt to their tang but earlier models the sheath could be used to remove the screw on tang. In my opinion though M-9’s are over built pieces of crap and you should get the okc 3s that Ontario also makes. It’s a superior bayonet/knife that functions well as a knife or bayonet. The M-7 isn’t bad either.

[@rbm6184]

I cannot speak to the Smith bayonet but there were something like 450,000 M9s produced. It will accommodate M4 carbine length carbines and shotguns on up. It is also a thick and wide blade that is more of a knife than a spear point bayonet like the M7. It is stainless steel. All these features and more make it cost more. The M7 is a parkerized carbon steel spear point blade and there were over 3,000,000 produced. It has one job and that is a bayonet unlike the M9 that can be used for multiple jobs. The M7 will not accommodate M4 carbine length carbines and shotguns. It will accommodate M4 mid length carbines on up. So production numbers and the blade composition/features play a big role in a bayonet's price/value. Then there are new and surplus bayonets that also play a role in price/value. I have plenty of knives but I wanted a bayonet for my M4 mid length so I got the M7.

[@rbm6184]

@@CRSFirearms The M7 will not fit a carbine length M4 but the M9 will. The M7 will fit a mid length M4. It has to do with the distance of the front sight gas block/bayonet lug from the muzzle.

Bayonets are typically not supposed to be sharp, because it makes them harder to retrieve as they can cut into the bone so when you twist you’ll either snap your edge or twist the body too. Bayonets are a stabbing weapon primarily now it not being razor sharp is excusable but it being so blunt you can saw on your hand is ridiculous.

[@TRGarza-rv8pk]

The grooves on the combat knives are intended to cause a pneumotorax, in simple words, to make a cannelure to get in external air in to the chest (or tórax), and colapse the lung, to inhabilitate the oponent ! In the M9 the serrations are intended to cut metal !

Bayonets are a stabbing weapon. I've heard they're NOT supposed to be sharp. The reasoning I've heard as to why is that if you actually had the bayonet on a rifle and used it to stab someone then a sharp bayonet is more apt to cut its way deep into bone and then potentially be very difficult to get out of someone. A dull bayonet will either crack a bone or at least not cut as deeply and therefore allow it to come out of the stabbed person more easily. I know that bayonets are, or at least were, issued dull. I've heard in Vietnam, sharpened bayonets were confiscated and replaced with dull ones.

This is a bayonet, not a knife. It's not sharp, but has a strong tip. Its only purpose is to penetrate a body and cause bleeding or damage an organ, not for slashing attacks like a saber.

My guess is the price gap is largely due to the difference in hourly wage between Chinese children and American Union workers. S&W knives are nothing more than a licensing gimmick, as they do not actually have a factory themselves that they make knives in. Last time I checked they had licensed the S&W name to Taylor Brands and then purchased Taylor Brands through another of its divisions. Taylor Brands is mostly known for buying up the name of defunct US makers like Schrade, Old Timer, Uncle Henry, Camilus, etc. and then making the knives in it's China factory. Having owned a few S&W knives I can tell you although they are at times somewhat functional, however there is certainly no pride in ownership.

A bayonet makes most sense on a bolt action rifle or a shotgun. Shotguns are close range and limited magazine capacity, so an additional close quarters weapon could be a lifesaver. Bolt actions, due to time spent chambering and aiming a round, benefit from an "always on" weapon. People think that bayonets fell out of favor due to the decline in trench warfare, but I think it's moreso the fact that guns are faster now and have high capacity magazines. An M16 can dump 1,000 rounds per minute, and a highly skilled Mauser or Springfield rifleman could only hope to get 30 rounds per minute off on a good day.

[@isawit9722]

Actually...the blood groove is for strength...but also it makes it easier to pull out of someone's body..makes a slurping sound...a sound once you hear it...you never forget it.. Excellent video

[@CRSFirearms]

Thanks I can imagine the sound like that would stick with you

[@poncoolride]

A fuller does not add strength. It loweres the weight of the blade with minimal weakening of the blade.

[@bernabesanchez387]

Read up on fullers

Let me know when a light saber that can actually cut something comes out.

[@CRSFirearms]

Hell no Because I want to be the first want to own it Lol

[@skeltonslay8er781]

@@CRSFirearms look up hack smith. It’s pretty cool

Do you live in Wisconsin? I'm in Milwaukee, it seems like most to a or gun videos are made in Wisconsin it freaks me out

[@janetowens7288]

In spite of your issue any ontario blade is better than any sw blade. Ontario has been making machetes and knives for the USA military since ww2.

[@t.m.h.7962]

Where do I get a leather cars? Just wondering. a can opener you need a p-38. Thats what we got in the RVN. I may have one around, loops probly not. I can look.

[@teufelhunden222]

Bro, it’s not a cutting device. It’s a stabbing device. Also, you remove the bayonet by pulling the trigger. USMC tips 🙂

[@CamRStanford]

Didn't know IKEA was Italian, LOL

[@donschafer6256]

to remove a stuck bayonet, either use your foot or pull the trigger and blow them off.

[@dangerdave138]

good review, i would say tho that the grind profile is claimed to be flat beveled so that could be why the one you got looked the way it did

[@jeremyknop5378]

It makes me wonder, if you put the ontario grip pommel and gaurd on the smith and wesson if that'd make it a better knife?

[@christostsolakidis2924]

Hi, the one holl is for the barrel, the other one is for what?

[@chicorodriguez3964]

Okc is an actual issue for gi's and are good quality

[@walterp380]

Great info, was just wondering what the difference might be.

[@Dissentient]

The Ontario M9 is not made from stainless steel...

[@sniperofbuffalo]

You are incorrect on your information on steel. Carbon steel, as it pertains to knives, is harder and sharper than the majority of stainless steels on the market. The main reason the bayonets are made in 420 Stainless Steel, other than rust resistance, is that it's very cheap to mass produce. Most of the cheap knives you find on the market coming out of China are 420 or 440 Stainless.

[@philliplopez8745]

The S&W does not have an NSN . If you sell to uncle sam you can gouge the hell out of them .

[@CRSFirearms]

Thank you for the feedback

[@jlduke73]

Those are not blood grooves. That is a myth. The grooves are for weight reduction.

Back thrust is always better.

[@ohanailo7743]

Metal does not have grains it has shapable crystal structures. When the strike occurred by the drop forging dye , it aligned the existing crystals to compress and go into the desired direction gaining strength by the compression of the crystalline structure because they are compressed and closer together. This also makes for a better edge retention after sharpening.

[@willshaw3561]

IKEA is swedish just saying!! The can opener..lol

[@CRSFirearms]

Practically the same thing lol

[@Douglas-Ops]

Good info, still in search of a good MOR one quality vs price. But hey, “Italy” comment? You’ve heard of Beretta right? lol

[@CRSFirearms]

That was the joke I have to doublecheck but I’m pretty sure I kea is Swiss

[@Douglas-Ops]

CRS Firearms Yeah, just busting chops. But good bayonet info, thanks.

[@CRSFirearms]

Thank you I appreciate you taking the time to leave comments you do I like every single one of my videos

[@stevenearlsmith2595]

A bayonett is made for stabbing, not cutting or slashing. And, those that actually know Bayonettes ( because they had jobs, wherein they were a tool of the trade ), "The Geneva Convention, PROHIBITS the sharpening of Bayonettes"! And, by the way, as far as your comments on "the grain of steel", you should actually learn, before spouting off BullShit! Steel DOES NOT have directional grain as found in wood/trees!

[@CRSFirearms]

And you should look into it before you call bullshit

[@gentugo]

What about cat shit?

[@dtester]

The Geneva Convention having rules on Bayonets seem to be a common myth (also the Hague Convention for that matter). Of course I only did a little bit of research, so if you find a citation, feel free to post it.

[@edgruberman4465]

The use of the word "grain" is for convenience, due to the general familiarity with wood grain. More accurate term might be "microcrystalline alignment of atoms in the alloy". Maybe. A forged part has a different microcrystalline structure than a machined or cast part. Ask the folks at S&W why their revolver frames are machined forgings. The principle also applies to non-Fe based materials, and non-steels like hypodermic needles. I'm a machinist, this stuff is my job.

[@Rubycon99]

How did you fit that much BS into one comment?

[@carlmanns9232]

Honestly why bayonets are not sharp is because they are used as a stabbing tool and can be used as wire cutters. They are not meant to be sharpened. Non sharpened bayonets are safer for the user when affixing bayonets, and when using as wire cutters. IJS So just like you said yourself, straight out of the box it is not a knife, because it is a bayonet.
