Anyone sharpen their cz858 bayonet?

[TheArmyMan204]

I know its almost more of a novelty piece (to me anyways) but I'm thinking about getting a working edge on my bayo. It's just been sitting in my closet since I bought the rifle with no real purpose but I think it would be cool to use as a bush/camping knife. Have any of you guys attempted this? Is the steel even knife quality? Any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance!

i did one and it actually held a pretty good edge. i used it as a bush knife for a couple summers until i lost it. the sheath loops become quite loose over time

i did replace it but did not sharpen this one

i bot a cz858-4 awhile back and it came with a bayo sharpened , i must admit it was very well done and very sharp.

Cool I'll give it a whirl guys thanks. It would be nice if mine came sharpened but oh well, it'll just be that much cooler when it's done haha

Yep, why not?

It can be done, but a bayonet isn't suppose to be very sharp.

If its left on the rifle, I'd avoid sharpening it, so things dont get cut up including me while handling the rifle. If its just a loose bayonet, why not..

The blade itself I found was very week, the tip of mine broke off from a small fall from my truck.

I sharpened mine and James McGowan made me new handle scales. Its a nice knife now for the money.

I saw a guy at the range that had his serrated. It has a home job but fantastic quality. He was some old ukranian guy. The thing was a saw and he said he hadnt sharpened it since he did the serration job. but he said tha you have to keep it oiled and clean or the steel will rust. It's not stainless.
