The M7 Bayonet, introduced into service in 1964, was issued to US troops during the Vietnam War for use on the Colt M16A1. While looking for reference photos I came across some bayonets that had an aluminum knuckleduster handle, so I decided to make one of those as well. I am unsure of its history as there is so much contradictory information about it.
