Nice find!
It's the first time I have seen a khukuri shaped bayonet.

Hehehe....
It did occur to me that someone may be trying to fob off a rather ingenious bayonet as a collectable but decided to keep my trap shut.
Then again, one never knows...

A khukri is used for chopping(wood or an enemy).It's not designed for stabbing.A bayonet is used for stabbing when on the rifle,though it might be used for other things when off it.A khukri bayonet,of the type depicted here, would be totally useless for either purpose.

A khukri shaped bayonet is surely useless at its job but then the seller on the website mentions some 'probable' use as for parade or palace guards....though not convincing..but anyway..he expects 200 euros for it....now ain't that a bit too much ...
