Last weekend my friends and I went camping in one of the Texas state parks. It was hot and kinda nasty all weekend but there was a bright side.
I decided to use my AK bayonet as a camping knife for this trip just to see how it did. I usually use my gerber folder but felt like screwing around. The results surprised me! First of all, it is sturdy as all get out. I was able to cut small branches by smacking it on the back of the blade with a small log, it worked amazingly well as a can opener, utility knife for opening packages or cutting string and (after a good wash) it cut chicken and stake like a charm. It stayed fairly sharp and took all the abuse I could throw at it...
I think I am going to pick up another one for the trunk at the next gunshow. Its cheap and does its job well...
When I get my JK handmade, I am sure that it will be no match but for the price, its hard to beat.
Thanks for listening!
