Anyone other than me using an AK47 or AK74 bayonet as a CQB knife?
Although initially difficult to sharpen due to how these come from their different sources of manufacture, once edged they become a dandy close quarters fighter.
Sheath or scabbard wise one can go with the issue scabbard, or have a Kydex concealled carry or belt carry sheath made.
Carried an AK blade during Iraqi Freedom and then again last August while in-country. Tough, you can pry, dig, cut wire, and all manner of other extreme utility use options, AND rely upon as close protection knife.
