Got this awhile back from a friend just because it was so unusual. Doubt that it is real military, but how many civilian rifles have a bayonet lug on them?
Marked, '' Golden eliphat ''(that is how it is spelled) with a super-long patent number & a logo of an elephant & the name Yin Xiang .
There is a barrel ring & a spring-loaded bayonet lug on the spine with a tiny fold-out flashlight. There is a blade release button & sliding lock on the side.
Here are a few pics. Enjoy & ponder.
Switchblade bayonet?

Re: Switchblade bayonet?
There are a variety of them. Although the mini flashlight is a bit unusual. There is nothing "military" about them, and they were never made to attach to any rifle. Pure fantasy like Bill says.
Examples. Not my knives.

I always ignore those unless they have the toilet paper roller mounted on them, then maybe.

Re: Switchblade bayonet?
The knives Killgar posted are I believe, the first made of the inexpensive Chinese exports so it's not anything new, what you have K7K is a souped-up version of those knives.
There's nothing wrong with them for what you pay, they're great for "click therapy", as long as you know what you have and don't have, I didn't learn that lesson until after I'd bought half a dozen of various styles.
The flashlight isn't new, either, but it continues to aggravate me for having no business being on a knife.
