Hey guys, I bought these knives hoping to break even on my gold subscription... but I might have bit off a bit more than I could chew! What I have is Ontario Okc3s Marine Corps bayonets ranging in condition from New to Very Good condition. I would like 100 new, and 95 very good, shipped. None of them come with boxes, I don't know if they do from the factory, but the new ones do come with the standard cardboard sleeve that they came with. Some of the VG knives have been issued, and their previous marine owner may have market their unit designation on the sheath, and in one case, inscribed it on the blade. I can clean these off upon request, or I can leave them on and keep them authentic. Its up to you!
For those wondering, this knife has an 8" 1095 blade that is .2 thick and phosphate finished (parkerized). It is partially serrated with a sharpened swedge. The handle is kinda rubbery and nice compared to the M9 issue bayonet, and the sheath is much more useful, as it is less bulky, has molle attachments, and has a ceramic sharpener hidden in the back of it. I bought a bunch of these because I think they are rad! And they look VERY good on my 590, as opposed to the M9. The M9 package (knife and sheath) just always seemed a bit overweight and unwieldy to me. That is not the case with these Marine Bayonets. They are my idea of a modern KaBar that you can throw on the end of your rifle. I like em! Which is probably why I made the mistake of buying too many! lol
