Okay, I know this is an old thread, but I picked up another one of the "Luftwaffe Forestry" "bayonets" (fighting knives)and the screws were not aligned like my others. So I made a tool from a screw driver to allow it to be disassembled. These are of one piece construction generally, at least the CHAW marked ones are. I had read somewhere these may be Luft marked internally, but this example has no discernable markings under the grips. The crossguard and scabbard are numbered the same, just one time. Some actually have 2 different numbers stamped on the same knife and scabbard..reissued or subunit marked? I thought others would enjoy seeing this piece with the grips off, as I certainly would not mess with my other near mint ones. This one came back together nicely, and now the spanners and screws are aligned in neat German-like order.
