The USMC now has switched from the old Ka-Bar to a new, 8" blade combination fighting knife/bayonet...still made by Ontario and Camillus, no fuller ("blood groove") and has a thermoplastic grip stamped with the Eagle, Orb and Anchor.

If you look closely at the buttcap, you will see the groove for the bayonet lug clearly.

I WANT ONE!!!!

Helen, I'd add it to my collection of "silent partners"...stationed all over the house in strategic locations (but hidden to the eye), "just in case".

"Better to have and not need..." :wink:
