1. Manufacturing error or design peculiarity
A technical error could have been made in individual copies or batches. But in the mass production of weapons, this is unacceptable. It turns out that this particular version of the bayonet-knife should have been like this and there is no accident in this. For cuts and serious injuries resulting in death, as a rule, there were other models of knives, "Gyurza" or "Porcupine". So they were very sharp.
Sharpening of such knives is carried out periodically, and the sharpness lasts a very long time, which is associated with the high-quality steel from which they are made. It is the sharpness that allows you to do everything quietly and as quickly as possible in case of application.
At the very beginning of the emergence of small arms, one of the most effective tactics was close combat. Then the bayonet-knife had a greater length. Over time, its design was revised, and the weapon itself was improved, removing a little length. In the original version, the need has disappeared. In battle, it was firearms that took the lead. Thus, the bayonet-knife known to everyone today appeared in the sixties of the last century and was used together with the AKM.
2. Key features
This weapon is designed specifically for bayonet attacks. It is made of steel, which is quite fragile. The sharpening of the bayonet knife is performed at a steep angle and is one-sided. Used in conjunction with a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The main goal is to defeat the enemy by inflicting a stab wound. It turns out that you don't have to cut the knife bayonet. Its purpose is to stab.
It is used quite effectively to create a hole in wire fences. Only he does not cut galvanized wire, but cuts. No less well he saws through the branches of bushes or trees, a variety of reinforcement. They can even cut a live wire without consequences for themselves. The thing is that the scabbard and the product itself are covered with plastic.
Well, on duty, when a soldier has only a bayonet-knife in his arsenal, nothing of the kind needs to be done. It is a disciplinary approach in which the soldier is made to understand that he has an advantage over an unarmed person.
The sharpening on the scabbard assists in opening a can of canned food (stew) or a zinc box with cartridges. With a bayonet knife, you can hammer in a nail and chop wood, naturally not large. That is, in extreme conditions, when the necessary tool is not at hand, the bayonet-knife will perform the functions of both an ax and a hammer. But work with it should be extremely careful, since its basis is fragile. And it is almost impossible to sharpen it for the same reason. You don't need to use it for fun either. It can quickly break down, and this is tantamount to a malfunctioning weapon.

3. Additional functionality
Soldiers are an inventive people, able to find a way out of any situation, using tools that are absolutely not intended for this. For example, on guard, having a small cigarette butt, they can insert it into a small hole of the same bayonet-knife and calmly smoke without burning their lips. There are also those who set fire to a match against the plastic fiberglass base of this weapon. So, you can't do without a bayonet knife - the product is necessary and multifunctional.
