M7 Letter Opener

Introduced in 1964, The M7 Bayonet was standard issue for the M16 family of rifles during the Vietnam War. Its 6-3/4" blade, combined with its checkered non-slip grip and overall black finish, allowed the bayonet to double as an effective fighting knife. The M7 was manufactured in both the U.S. and several Asian countries.

Measures 7-1/2" overall with a 4-1/8" blade. Has a checkered grip. Weighs 1.9 oz.

1918 Mark I Letter Opener

Designed for close-combat trench warfare, the 1918 Mark 1 was commissioned near the end of World War I, but never saw action until the beginning of WWII, when it was pressed into service for, among others, Airborne, Rangers and Glider Infantry troops and saw action until early 1943, when it was replaced by the M3. The distinctive "knuckle-duster" grip of the Mk. 1 was cast in brass with a black anti-reflective finish. Highly collectible, three manufacturers in the U.S. and one in France made the Mark 1. Originals sell in the collector market for up to $1000!

Measures 7-1/4" overall with a 4-1/4" blade. Has a blackened bronzed grip. Weighs 3.4 oz.
