Produced (and dated) for trial in 1900, as a replacement for the standard bayonet which could pull double duty as a brush knife. Measuring 13 1/2 inches overall, the 9 inch blade has a deep back clip and a 2 1/2 inch sharpened edge on the spine, with "US" on the right ricasso and "1900" on the left. All of the metal is bright, with a pair of smooth wood scales completing the grip. With a full metal sheath, which features the distinct ball tip and 100 degree belt swivel.

Fine, with mild handling marks. The very fine blade is bright, with some minor scratches, and some minor spotting is present on the hilt. A mixed brown patina is present on the sheath, with some light scratches and small areas of pitting.
