The M-47 bayonet was the first bayonet designed for use with the AK-47 assault rifle. The simple blade bayonet attaches by sliding onto the muzzle and locking in place by means of a spring loaded catch. The M-47 has no provision for a wire cutter attachment, but that would come later, with the M-59.
This bayonet can be fitted only on the AK-47 and AKM rifles. The flash suppressor of the AK-74 and SVD preclude the use of the M-47 bayonet. As with all Soviet blade bayonets, the M-47 was issued with a scabbard that was to be worn on the utility belt to the right of the buckle.
