Wow that closing statement hit hard, really good stuff, couldn't agree more. As another guy pointed out the other Soviet bayonets are much nicer, but the Russian ones are very expensive, I only got one because it was a bring back from Iraq.. Stamped for the Izhevsk factory, surprising because most Iraqi AK are either domestic or Yugo. In the Soviet Union each nation had specific designs they produced, AK, bayonet, etc. but it was up to them to produce them themselves without Russian control, so quality actually varied allot, some places like East Germany were known for generally making really nice kit, and some of the poorer areas like Romanian where not known for high quality production. Even though the M9 is a bit more refined (and much newer) I have to give credit to the Soviets, it was a really clever design and the idea of having a utility knife with the wire cutters came from them first, the M9 in essence was a American copy of the Soviet idea. When the soviets first fielded these knifes (all the way back in 1960!) the US was still using the m4/m5/m7 which is just a double edged dagger essentially, good bayonet and a decent fighting knife but useless as anything else. Soviets actually innovated allot when it came military technology which I don't think is recognized often, first modern mass use of IFV (BMP series) First official paratrooper units, all the way back in 1930, first nation to use the concept of a "Designated marksman" at the squad level. etc. Edit: Oh also something worth pointing out, lack of sharpness of the Soviet bayonets is actually really historically typical. Most nations around the world factory produced military knifes and swords completely dull, very much intentionally. Final sharpening was to be done before actual combat, by units armorers. This in Britain was always known as "service sharpening" so when you find most old swords or knifes if they are dull, they most likely served in peace time or were surplus. The reason why this was done was to decrease wear on the blades (many scabbards are metal or have metal inserts and will dull blades over time), and to discourage drunken angry soldiers from using them in anger. When you find for instance a old sword that has a original service sharpen it can be quite a bit more valuable as it means it was likely actually carried in a active war, or at least on deployment in a dangerous location such as in colonial areas, like British occupied India. The American knifes coming sharpened was a bit of a anomaly, but many American knifes do come sharp, the M7s I have handled factory new from surplus lots are very sharp. However when you go back to WW2 allot of American surplus M1 Garand bayonets are quite literally duller than a butter knife. So when you find a old bayonet like that, that is sharp and it looks to be a very old sharpening it may have a much more interesting story to tell compared to a surplus one that came out of a wooden box decades after the war.
Wow, there’s a lot of really good info there! Thanks a ton. I think you should set out to write a book 😆 I would definitely read it. Thanks again for watching and hit me up next time you’re in Lower Alabama and we will grab a beer together!
@@anfrex3342 No, it is not a good knife. The handle is not comfortable. The blade's steel is too hard, can easily break and hard to sharpen. The nickel coating wears off quickly and then the blade starts rusting. The sheath is also a complete disaster. It is good to buy for the collection, and it looks cool, but the thing is useless garbage. Soviets never produced anything of good quality.
If you try sharpening Ak it will meet with failure.Steel is very hard and quickly edge becomes too wide. This shit is only usable for thrusts and i know it cause in from post soviet country and from my knowledge if you have sharpen knife your suprevisor will destroy you
Loved it. Totally in agreeance with your thoughts at the end between the 2 countries. The bloopers..... 🤣🤣 Moss.... always getting in the way, slowin' ya down... that'd get ya in a whole lot of trouble. lol 😂 Thank you for the vid, Gabe. It was a good choice to compare those 2 knives especially. Hello to the family. Y'all take care! 😊
Thanks Sherry! I’m glad it was entertaining yet educational :) we are well here, thanks for asking! We are enjoying the last few days of nice spring before it’s back to muggy south Alabama!
Hallo, Ich bin mit dem AK 47 bei der NVA Grenztruppen Einzellkämpfer groß geworden und ich kenne kein Bajonett was noch besser ist. Sie müssen auch ein Orgienal haben, Sie wären überrascht. Das was Sie da haben ist ein AK47 aus Rumänien.Die Orgienal Ak 47 sind viel besser verarbeitet. Gleich zustellen mit dem KA -Bar ,tolles Kampfmesser. Ich war bei der Armee 1974 / 1975 . Ost -Deutschland. LG AUS DEUTSCHLAND
Trash is harsh but the M9 was never meant to be a bayonet, or never should have been one. It’s design was lifted from the BuckMaster 184 Survival knife designed for the SEALs
The AK bayonet you got there was made in Romania (you can tell by the leather belt loop, bakelite marbling and markings). These Romanian bayonets are regarded as the worst quality of the AK family, the manufacturing is crude and the materials are low quality. I don’t want to imply that it would significantly change the results of your testing (the M9 was a much more refined design overall) but you would probably be happier with a Polish, East German or Soviet one (those are usually much sharper and well finished). Thank you for the video and have a great day, kind regards from Czech Republic.
Thank you for watching and offering such great information on the styles and qualities of these bayonets. That is very interesting that each nation had its own methodology and level of quality when all producing the same bayonet. I’m glad you enjoyed the test and I hope you have a wonderful day. Pray for peace.
Great video. Though considering the difference in when they were introduced the com bloc bayo was never really going to have a chance against the newer M9
It would have been more interesting if they were given a fresh edge before the tests. They are cutting weapons/tools with tests done on cutting ability and edge retention. This is like comparing two similar used cars, running tests on fuel mileage, and not filling up either car first. Naturally the car that happened to have the most fuel in it would have an unfair advantage.
You should make an investment in purchasing a mid length gas system upper receiver for your AR because it's actually designed for the 16" barrel and fits the bayonet. Literally pointless having a carbine gas system with less hand space for a 16" barrel AR
I brought home an AK bayonet from Iraq back in 2004. It is a total PIECE OF SHIT compared to my M9, both the bayonet and scabbard. And to be honest I am at a loss with the thinking of putting the edge on the top rather than bottom of the blade.
The cutting edge on top of the AK bayonet is what you mean im assuming. Its there because a soldier would mount it onto their rifle to cut things much like a saw. Its why their bayonets are upside down on the rifle too.
Would like to see the m9 vs Ak74 bayonet. Both being similar in time periods.... think the akm type1 had that metal sheath. Not the greatest in keeping a sharp edge.
Phrobis 3 has a stainless steel blade. Lancay and Ontario were carbon steel blades. And you sir have an Ontario. The Phrobis 3's are the only ones that made it through military testing with a 0% failure rate. The military already torture tested these....
Comparing a rusty, old, heavily used, unsharpened Soviet bayonet to a brand new M9 Bayonet (and according to Knife Story was a complete failure). Gee, wonder which will win.
@@oursimplestorychannelbrand new by whos metric? Like brand new to you maybe but calling that a brand new never used knife? Come on dude, that thing was clearly heavily used before you got your hands on it.
I ve heard that Polish AK bayonets are the best ones, I happen to have one i bought like 2 years ago, havent really used it, the Polish ones missing the saw on the upper part of the blade.
@@oursimplestorychannel First, pretty good video. Please don’t make my comments belittle it in any way. However, the bayonet was made somewhere else other than USSR. Which means it was not built within confines of the Soviet Military Industry with its strict standards and testing. But within some other country with its own industrial capabilities and limitation. Is it made with same materials, is it heat treated the same way, are the tolerances kept, is it tested with the same rigor, etc. Just like the rifles (AK) themself that are made in different countries are not the same. Like the Egyptian Maadi is differen from East German MpKi or Romanian SAR or WASR is diferent from Polish AKM, etc. I am not even talking about Chinese Type 56 and Yugoslav M70. All of these rifles are close variants and built off the same set of blueprints (exception being the Yugo M70) and yet there are different in overall finish, quality and even performance. Same applies to the gun’s accessories including bayonet. That is all I am saying. One more thing the M9 is more contemporary to the AKM Type 2 rather than Type 1. By the time the M9 came about, the Soviets have already fazed Type 1’s out. The correct comparison would have been M7 vs. Type 1. And I can with most certainty say that M7 would win.
The AK bayonets from East Germany and Poland NEVER came sharpened (because The Hauge and Geneva Conventions were respected in those countries) I do believe most countries respected that except for the Americans 😂
@@oursimplestorychannel All these claims that these conventions banned this or that bayonet are BS. The only possible problem with a sharp bayonet is it might get stuck more solidly. Most of the history of knife and sword bayonets they had either no real edge to speak of or are given a very basic edge. Only factory bayonet from back in the day I have that is sharp at all is the Japanese Type 30, and I would bet they just gave them an edge to make them seem more like a katana to the common Japanese grunt. They were given the edge at the factory, none of mine show any signs of being sharpened. In fact, if a bayonet has been sharpened, most likely it was done after they were surplused by someone trying to make it a utility knife or garden tool. Frankly, most bayonets are spear heads and suck as knives. The Soviet AKM bayonets (and Western equivalents) are the closest thing to a useful multi tool bayonet but still, each function they can perform will be better done by the tool specifically designed for the function. My Romanian AK bayonet is sharper than yours but not a lot. It was definitely never sharpened in the field. That sort of edge gives you the ability to cut rope or something else really basic. Same with its sawback. It’s better than nothing but all sawbacks are crappy saws.
La prueba del supuesto tanque no es válida por qué la cinta es de caucho de goma,otro detalle la bayoneta rusa tiene muchos años y si le daban una afilada por alguien que sabe la diferencia es otra otro detalle el m9 es un cuchillo que me gusta mucho lo tendría si pudiera pero la espiga es débil,y la bayoneta rusa es full tang soy artesano también tengo un canal es mi punto de vista como artesano,buen video amigos🤝🤠
I strongly disagree I own both and used both in camping. The ak bayonet has a better edge and easier to maintain than the M9. The M9 just has length and weight, if you put an edge on it doesn’t last long so most of the time it struggles to cut wet toilet paper. The M9 is just an expensive, heavy, and enlarged imitation of the AK bayonet. I have the M9 and the M10 tanto Ontario made the M10 has an even worse edge and it’s partially serrated. They should’ve just made the entire cutting edge serrated. The AK bayonet that I have is similar to the one in the video.
many soldiers ac sharp their bayonets self bc they are not sharp enough when we get them i had to do that with mine 😒 but those their is lucky get a used one ther is sharp
You need to compare the Soviet production until 1988. and then the collapse of the empire and a parody of Kalashnikov assault rifles _AK _, different stores, different details. Thanks for the titanic work
We weren't allowed to have a sharp edge on our bayonets, it was a violation of the Geneva Convention. They switched us to the OKC3S, because the M9 broke so often.
@@beltfed4624 but it is a myth. There are no laws against sharpening your bayonet. The M9 was issued with a sharping stone on the back of the sheath the same as the OK3CS. I tried keeping my bayonet sharp but the steel is crap and won’t hold an edge for long. Your armorers likely wanted to prevent wear and replacement by just not having you use them.
Have you really talked about sovjet occupation of eastern block nations? You know they were in one millitary alliance and the troops were "stationed" in East Germany, CSSR, Hungary... and Russia was protecting them, exactly like US troops nowadays are just "stationed" in Germany, Italy and other places, because we are allies, they are there to keep NATO going, not?. Same shit in essence. You were right, an occupation should be called an occupation.
I would still rather have the US version , never liked the soviet blade , which is just wierd . Ours is just much more practical in every way . Then again , the Soviets designed much of their field gear , with the cold understanding , that the conscript was not going to live very long , to begin with , so why go to the effort to provide millions of them , with higher quality gear ? Thats a quirk of a lot of Soviet equipment , it was designed for a single purpose in mind , and it will do the jod it was designed for , ...........just no more , no less .
I watched all kinds of AK47 wire cutting etc videos In preparation for making this video. I’m not sure your point. The bayonet I was sent was unable to cut well. How does that make my video irrelevant?
Bayonets are used for stabbing in Russian therory .us. figured knife bayonet like ww1 would fit the bill but 86 I just got out I don't remember this ? Maybe just unit testing then but thanks that was fun

Then again , the Soviets designed much of their field gear , with the cold understanding , that the conscript was not going to live very long , to begin with , so why go to the effort to provide millions of them , with higher quality gear ? Thats a quirk of a lot of Soviet equipment , it was designed for a single purpose in mind , and it will do the jod it was designed for , ...........just no more , no less .
Testing it's o.k.
Missing Testing the Saw ????
Ontario is horrible Saw🙈
❤❤❤❤❤
You have to watch some others Videos about ak 47 bajonett cutting wire, sorry but your Video is irelevant
I watched all kinds of AK47 wire cutting etc videos In preparation for making this video. I’m not sure your point. The bayonet I was sent was unable to cut well. How does that make my video irrelevant?
In Soviet Russia, knives are duller than a hammer!
Duuuur
silly tests
even while being ukrainian and feeling kinda bad for the ak bayonet but its just way worse than the m9
I wish the "great nations" phrase would not be used to describe anything Russian. My two cents, after that speech at the end. BUY AMERICAN!
They are a great (large, significant, powerful) nation.
Bayonet from ak 74 known crap.
M9
Bayonets are used for stabbing in Russian therory .us. figured knife bayonet like ww1 would fit the bill but 86 I just got out I don't remember this ? Maybe just unit testing then but thanks that was fun
