Bayonet and kukuri

[Tat2trev]

As title I have up for swaps a us7 1964 us marine corps bayonet with sheath and a Nepalese Gurkha kukuri with sheath two small blades all of which fit in the wood sheath which is clad in leather.
Any questions will be answered best I can .im looking for something shiny friction folder or fixed blade but open to offers.
First the kukuri

Second the top blade in the photo is the bayonet

These are in the condition I received them in but nothing a bit of T.L.C wouldn't fix.

VERY interested in the Kukri. I'll see what I can dig up to tempt you with.

I have a couple of vintage folding knives. Sheesh I don't know what I have to be honest. Tomahawks, fixed head axes, billhooks, drawknifes, assorted dutchovens for campsite cooking and posh cast irons ones for the kitchen. Take your pick.

Trev, I have one of those bayonets in my drawer and at home. Prezzie from a mate who was leaving for OZ for keeps. Though not generally a fan of bayonets as knives ( I do like them for what they are though) it is a solid blade handle with a good sheath. Would make a good project or collectors piece as it's a solid basis for a lot of projects. Very similar to the (Norwegian) bayonet that I have in the drawer beside it which was the focus of "Survival Weaponry & Techniques" magazine bayonet of moding choice way back in the 80's. (Sure Mr Fenna could fill the gaps on that one).
Nice piece of kit and good luck with the sale/trade.

Thanks bud yes it is a nice thing and certainly a piece of history in my hand ,but sadly of no interest to me so ,she gonna go to a new home to be looked after for another 50 year or more.The guy who passed it on to me said its been in a draw in his house for 20 years ,this is the first time it's seen light in all those years.

Trade wise on the bayonet
I would love a leather sheath for a svord peasant horizontal carry or just off horizontal so the svord will not fall out.
Or something else shiny for me to engrave and play with .Try me you never know.
I'd also like a dpm basha not desert though if possible

 

[Tat2trev]

Anybody tempted by the bayonet it's a nice piece of history and in good condition.
