It arrived today, love it. Blade is 17 inches & obviously a French bayonet sacrificed itself to make this. I gather they were originally about 20 in, so the other 3 in. must be inside the grip, along with a thin steel section to which the two grip halves are riveted, possibly also to a drilled blade root stub. It's edge is very sharp. It's obviously very stabby indeed. Well balanced and comfortable in the hand, too. Essentially a long stiletto.
