CZ 858/58 Bayonet

Unless you're planning to carve a roast with it, it was never designed to cut clean and wouldn't make much difference when thrust into something or someone. Also if it's sharp it's easier to damage as well as injure the user.

Too many rare and valuable bayonets have been rendered uncollectable by their owners sharpening and otherwise reshaping them.
I know the VZ-58 one isn't exactly a rare sought-after item, but who knows in 50 years? today, just try to find a mint Swede M-38 bayonet; they were sold by the bucket in the '70ies and some even used them for tent stakes...
Unless it is a dual purpose sabre bayonet, it has no need for a keen edge, it is strictly a "thrust and pierce" weapon.

imo its what you want to do with the dam thing if you want authentic and collector value don't sharpen it if you don't ........who cares!
The idea with bayonets that I've heard is that putting an edge on them makes them more prone to stick in the ribs of your opponent. Dull edge meant it just pushed bones aside. Leave it be, if you want a knife, go buy one that's made to hold a good cutting edge.
