North Korean Type 68 bayonets have unique design among AK related bayonets. Type 68 rifle is the North Korean variant of Russian AKM rifle produced from 1968.

Both blade and handle are different than a classic 6h4 bayonet. A scabbard is based on 6h2 bayonet scabbard and the blade has unique bowie type blade shape without saw and wirecutter hole.
