I’m looking into buying an eickhorn B2K Bayonet and eickhorn-usa.com has superior prices but their website is very primitive.

has anyone bought anything from them, if so how was your experience?

Never used that vendor, but I've had bad luck with that maker:

That sucks, I wonder if you got a rare lemon or if Eickhorn is just an over hyped sub standard manufacturer?

It’s hard to tell there’s so little info about them.


I was attracted to the Eickhorn bayonet because of the wire-cutting feature, and I’ve heard that USGI M9s (which also have a cutter) have a bad reputation for breaking.

I have heard that Eickhorn changed hands years ago and quality became hit-or-miss i can forgive the occasional lemon, if they are willing to make it right. If you find a good retailer who stands behind the product, go for it.
