"Extreme Survival" knives

Here’s what appears to be an attempt to combine the old-style M9 bayonet grips with the blade of the current USMC bayonet. Great for the anti-zombie/anti-ISIS commando, I suppose. Looks cool, but evidently 420 Stainless isn’t the ideal blade material:

420? I thought it was SAE 1070?

Whats up with the “survival” ZOMBI craze BS. ? Good marketing I suppose.

Are people actually fixing these bayonets on their AR’s?

At $93.33 it’s overpriced by about $90.

Err… Schrade? Nah.

OP, or anyone, if you want an M9 bayonet, here is the legit item in Black or OD:

If I owned one, I’d fix it for photo ops just to piss the Libs off…
Actually, a revival of the bayonet could make a great “maybe not quite as immediately lethal” option for riot control? I mean look at the Spartans/Greeks- nothing like a line of pointy sticks that says “like a good neighbor, stay over there”.
