Overview
Built for the SIG SG 510 platform and associated with Swiss military use, this surplus bayonet combines field utility with collector interest. It was used in Swiss maneuvers over rough alpine terrain, where it served as both a utility and survival blade, and this used example is described as pretested with plenty of life remaining. The package includes a leather scabbard, and the listed construction details reflect a purpose-made military tool rather than a general-purpose hunting knife. For serious collectors and outdoorsmen who value authentic surplus gear, it offers a direct link to mid-century Swiss service equipment.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Used surplus condition means cosmetic wear and prior service history should be expected, even though the item is described as pretested and serviceable.
- This is a bayonet designed for the SIG SG 510/Sturmgewehr 57, so fit and use are tied to that platform rather than general-purpose knife applications.
- The double-edged blade and military-style profile make it less suited to tasks where a single-edged utility blade or more specialized field knife would be preferable.
- The included leather scabbard adds period-correct storage, but leather requires more care than synthetic carry materials.
