    No matter the place of manufacture, all bayonets come from the Bayonne region of France, silly, otherwise they wouldn’t be called bayonets! They’d be called rifle knives.

        That’s fine, just make sure you and no one you’ve ever known has ever had anything to do with the Bayonne region, otherwise you’re just making a bayonet. And that’s a mistake no one should ever make.

            Ok, but two should be able to do that mistake.

            I think i know someone that’s had something to do with the Bayonne region. So, together we can make a Bayonet, by mistake.

    There’s a reason that the European Union has Protected Designation of Origin status. For precisely this scenario.

    Don’t accept fake imitation bayonets!

    Fuck you, my bayonet comes from Bayonne New Jersey, and I am contractually obligated to begin any sentence discussing it with the phrase “fuck you.”

        Fuck you, it was made using sanmai construction by a fourth generation Bayonne knife maker to fit an antique muzzleloader rifle that was passed down to me by my grandfather.
