Bulgarian AK-47 bayonets are known for their solid construction and functionality. The blade is straight and single-edged. The bayonet comes with a scabbard with metal fittings, ensuring durability and protection. This bayonet is almost an exact copy of the Soviet AK-47 bayonet. Unlike the Soviet model, this bayonet has no manufacturer markings on the crossguard, and the number stamped on the handle is perpendicular to the blade. Additionally, the Bulgarian bayonet-knife differs from the Soviet model in that the attachment strap for the hanging sling is typically fixed with 1-2 rivets.
These bayonets were widely used by the Bulgarian army and exported to other countries along with Bulgarian AK-47 rifles. Due to their quality and reliability, Bulgarian AK-47 bayonets are highly valued by collectors and military history enthusiasts around the world.
