M1895 Chilean Mauser bayonet

It just arrived today.Absolutely fantastic condition,  Serial numbers on the blade and the scabbard match; about 95% original bluing on the scabbard; blade remains shiny with no indication of polishing to clean throughout the years.  I did some very superficial cleaning and then gave it a nice coating of some nice renaissance wax.  When I am able to get some decent photos (hopefully tomorrow), I will share those.If the bayonet bug bites you, resistance is futile.   Lol.It just starts with…See More

"It is pretty obvious to me that my knife has been sharpened quite a bit.  I suspect that the tip may have been broken off and the blade reground at one time, thus leaving it a bit shorter.  None of the negatives detract from the value of…"

Hey man...thanks for the friend request...of course I accepted! As for sending private messages, this is just fine - but if you truely want to send a private message - use the iKC email - upper right hand corner of your page in the area of your name, sign out, Fried requests, etc...

I wanted to start a formal stand-alone CFK group, but I could not accurately gauge  if it would be accepted or not - so I started the it as a sub-group in the Box Full of Knives Box of Knives. I'm glad i did - as I commented to Lead Left Knife Guy , I seem to be the only one playing in that sand box at the moment, and I'm not sure my ego could manage no one join a group!  LoL!

Right now it looks like it's just my thread....but if you add a post to it, then it will be as it is intended - a place to appreciate the CFK/iPAC brand.
