    Default British bayonet M1907.

    Today I've finished restoration and honing of British WW1 bayonet M1907. Nice bayonet made in 1918 by Wilkinson.

    So how is the shave? My apologies, I just had to ask.

    Manah,

    Lovely work

    I have always thought that these were more of a short sword than a bayonet

    If you can find any broken ones, particularly Wilkinson made, they make a very good base for a field knife !

    Have fun !

    Best regards

    Russ

    I have two of those british pattern bayonets from the New Zealand army. Sadly one was broken as a result of my two uncle's "play fighting" as children! - then very poorly welded back together. My grandfather then had the blades and all the hardware chromed unfortunately.

    Always thought about doing some work on them - anyone know if its possible to remove chrome? Sounds like a silly proposition to me but you never know.

    Nice job!

    My dad has one exactly like it. Its funny when you compare the size of the bayonets now and back then. The modern ones are waaay smaller!

    Men that have actually had to use bayonets for their intended purpose don't speak about them in such reverential terms.
