It is genuine! A genuine Chinese fake that is. No doubt about it; acid
etched blade, kissaki (point) geometry wrong, mounts incorrect for
shingunto. Be glad your gut saved you some money.

Could very well be a "dress" bayonet. Many were used strickly for
"dress" or parade wear to be worn at the side and not mounted on

Thanks, from other knife forums, I got most likely India or Pakistan,

I would agree, European, but I was thinking English or Scandinavian, made
for the whaling trade - perhaps a whale butchering knife/ blubber knife??

You Brits can't be trusted with anything dangerous. Those forks with their
