Crafted with attention to detail, this bayonet features a 20" blade that showcases the distinctive Saw Back design, earning it the nickname "The Butcher." The blade is expertly finished with a deep blued steel coating, providing both durability and a striking appearance.

Included with this impressive bayonet is a leather and metal scabbard, along with a black leather frog for easy attachment to your gear. This combination not only enhances the bayonet's aesthetic appeal but also ensures that it is functional and ready for display or use.

As one of the more elusive WW1 German bayonets, this reproduction is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The design was originally intended for use by artillerymen, machine gunners, and pioneers, serving as a practical tool for clearing brush and trees in preparation for military operations. However, its fearsome appearance led to rumors of dire consequences for those who carried it, adding to its mystique.

This bayonet is designed to fit all WW1 Mauser GEW 98 and 98a rifles, as well as the Mauser 98k series used during World War II. Please note that fitting may be required, as each bayonet was originally custom fit to its respective firearm. Some minor adjustments with a file or other tools may be necessary to achieve a perfect fit.
