Swiss Stgw. 57 Bayonet with Frog, surplus
You probably don't own a Swiss Stgw. 57 rifle, but it's OK! Sharpen one of these bayonets and you have a fine tool for poking, prying, cutting, and dicing - all scenarios you run into in the kitchen!

Please note that these are sharpened at the factory, and they indeed are double-edged, which may limit importing them. If bayonets or double-edged blades are illegal in your country, you may end up in all kinds of shit for importing these.
Swiss militaria provides a rare combination of being made with phenomenal quality and having not being used in war since 1815, except a little bit in the 1940s. These bayonets are from the 50s or later and were manufactured about as long as the rifle itself.
The design is rather traditional with double edges and a blade length of 24 cm (~9.5"). The handle is black plastic and ribbed for your pleasure to prevent your hand from slipping when wet: in close combat, wet hands are a rule because of having your hands in your pants or drenching in the blood of your enemies.
The frog is olive green rubber or brown leather, depending on what we get. We separate these so you can choose.
Swiss army surplus
Used but in serviceable condition. The tip of the blade might have seen better days on some of the bayonets, as the most common actual use of a bayonet is poking the ground when practicing removal of land mines.

Kuvista ja tuotetekstistä voi saada hiukan virheellisen käsityksen. Veitsen varsinainen terä alkaa vasta terän puolesta välistä eli ilman raskaampaa kalustoa tämän teroittaminen, vaikka keittiökäyttöön, on mahdotonta. Ettei nyt jäänyt varmasti epäselväksi, niin terä kapenee niin hitaasti kärkeä kohti, että terävä osuus alkaa vasta veitsen puolesta välistä. Hyvänä puolena veitsi ei ainakaan itselle tullut kunnolla teroitettuna, joten tuote on erinomainen kirjeiden aukomiseen.
Summa summarum:
-Osta, jos haluat kirjeiden avaajan.
-Osta, jos haluat esteettisesti jotain hyvin kaunista.
-Älä osta, jos haluat jotain millä voi oikeasti tehdä jotain.

When Varusteleka however writes that it is sharpened from the factory - it is not.
That is good for collectors, but it will need a good stone and a lot of elbow grease to become sharp.

Mine was busted; the plastic was deeply cracked (and crappily glued) and the rearmost piece of the handle canted. So, I spent 3 hours dismantling it and using proper technique to reglue it.
Frog was mint, blade has some dings/chips, and now that it is repaired I can use it for various prodding applications, but I won't trust it as particularly sturdy due to the glue job.
I'd recommend it on the basis that, in all probability, you won't get one as mangled as mine.
Still looks cool as hell on my desk, and in a pinch I could probably commit at least a few war crimes with it, but as it stands it is retired from any prospect of front line service.

for a collection show case, if you get one of the unused ones - it is rather nice and will stay shiny without much trouble, being stainless steel.

Terä on hauskasti muotoiltu ja tyylikäs. Eihän näillä mitään voi tehdä eikä näitä ole tarkoitettu mihinkään muuhun käyttöön kuin sotimiseen. Pistimet ei kai koskaan ole teräviä tehtaalta, ne teroitetaan vasta kun niillä tarvitsee tappaa. (Paitsi RK:n pistin, joka lienee kansallisperinteikkäästi alunperin suunniteltu myös puukkokäyttöön) Eli mitään ei voi pistää eikä leikata ellei ensin aja terää aika pal alkuperäistä terävämmäksi. Mutta ei tämä tosiaan mitään toissijaista tai siviilikäyttöä varten ole tehty.
Oma yksilö on lähes käyttämättömän oloinen, pari kevyttä osumaa on tullut edellä olevan kypärästä taikka asvaltista terään joskus. Mietin onko Sveitsissä mahtanut olla pistinsulkeisia, niinkuin meillä oli vanhaan hyvään aikaan (valmiiksi veitsenterävien RK-Fiskarsien kanssa).
