Nice Bayo BTW!! wink


I think you are asking about the different blade grinds with one having a false edge on the back and one not. The tips are ground differently by different makers according to their own whims. Generally speaking, the blades with a false edge (double edge at the tip) and a narrow fuller are found on the short KS98 bayonets. The longer KS98 blades were generally made without the false back, that were ground with a sharp angle, and a wide fuller. Having said that, you will find short blades ground without the false edge on some bayonets.
