The AKM rifle was launched in 1960 and featured a bayonet lug, making it more efficient and cost-effective to produce than the AK47. The inclusion of this feature led to its widespread use. The AKM Type I bayonet, which was a departure from conventional designs, was as innovative as the Kalashnikov itself. With its one-piece molded plastic grip and pommel, along with a stainless steel blade, it was resistant to rust and rot. The unfullered clip-point blade also included sawteeth along the spine. The steel scabbard body had a lug that could be used as a wirecutter when combined with the blade's window cut. Additionally, the scabbard body was equipped with a rubber insulator for safety when cutting electrified wires. The clip-on belt hanger was inexpensive and simple to replace. To enhance grip as a combat knife, a retention strap was also provided. This design revolutionized bayonet design and continues to influence today.
The AKM Type I bayonet was produced by East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Russia.
