    This bayonet confuses me.

    It feels like the blade is upside down when you hold it. If attached to a rifle the edge would be facing up.. what rifle is it for, and why did they make it that way?

    Quite a common bayonet around here actually, or used to be.

    A lot of bayonets from that region are upside down. Austrian, Russianicon, Czechicon. Just a regional thing probably.

    Realistically why make a bayonet with a 'edge' at all since they aren't sharpened to begin with? It was a style that you see in the region I think starting with the M95 bayonets and then followed with things like some AK bayonets and these Czechicon bayonets.
