    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.
