The US M7 knife-bayonet was adopted in 1964 together with the assault rifle AR15-M16 was adopted in the USA by the US Air Force, the US Army. In this beginning of what will be called the Viet Nam War, the USA had still used for a short time their M14 rifles, which, was reissued with success in Afghanistan due to their longer range and stronger power factor than the M16, but it is another subject.
The blade of the US M7 knife bayonet together with its handle is somewhat identical to these or the second type US M4 bayonet with the plastic diamond checkered grips, used during the Korean War with the M1 carbine.
