Can anyone ID this knife?

[HUMVEE Driver]

This is a twin of the missing (stolen) knife from my Humungus Machine. I can't remember what it is, or even if I ever knew what it is in the first place. At any rate, I still have to replace it. Armorer?

Looks like a Spanish FR-8 bayonet.

What does the writing on the blade say ?

Did a quick price search, Dave. You can find these on-line with the scabbard for $10-$30. They're pretty common. Just google 'FR8 bayonet'.

OMG......Credit given where credit is due.
Man you know your shit John. There is no debating that.

Thanks, Brad. But please,...no hero worship. Just throw money for my airfare fund.


Seriously, I don't know everything. I'm just a reasonably knowledgeable individual. 'RKI' for short.

'RKI' my ass. You're my go-to guy for this stuff.

Thanks for your help! I've already found one that I'm hoping to get for under $15.00.

Thanks Dave. $15 is a fair price. They aren't that scarce. A few thousand FR8's and accessories were imported about 15 years ago and they weren't huge sellers. While a unique looking piece, it was still basically just another Mauser derivative in a market already awash in Mausers.

I won't make the 2010 Wasteland Weekend, but I'm planning on the 2011 event (hoping there will be a 2011 event). If you make that one too, we'll drink a few frosty beverages and talk 'shop'.
