Technically known as the M1898, these bayonets were made for use with the Gewehr 98 Rifle. All metal parts are blued. The 20" blade has the distinctive Saw Back feature that gave this bayonet its nickname "The Butcher". The handle is 5.25" long with grooved hardwood scales Comes with Leather and Metal scabbard and black frog.
New Made Item: One of the more difficult WW1 German bayonets to find today is this Pioneer issue sawback butcher.
Highlights of this reproduction are: a deep blued steel finish, oil rubbed grooved wood grips, matched leather and steel scabbard and an intimidating staggered tooth saw blade on the upper side of the bayonet edge.
In WWI these Bayonets were rumored to have caused such dreadful injury that stories circulated of POWs being shot for simply carrying one. However, the design was originally intended to be used as a tool for Artillerymen, Machine gunners and Pioneers for use clearing brush and trees for implacements.
German WW1 examples are often encountered with the saw teeth removed; indicating a general belief that carrying such bayonets did result in dire consequences.
Designed to fit all WW1 Mauser GEW 98 and 98a rifles; these will also fit the Mauser 98k series of rifles used during WW2.
Note: Fitting may be required as originally each bayonet was custom fit to every gun. Work with a file or other tools may be required and should be expected.
