CAN bayonet 2000

The CAN bayonet 2000/2005 is the up-to-date standard multi-purpose infantry bayonet of the Canadian Armed Forces, issued to match the C7/C8 service rifles.

The bayonet 2000 was originally developed based on a NATO standardization agreement by AES in Germany as the successor of C7 Nella bayonet.

The bayonet 2000 was first selected by United States Marine Corps in 2001, but was rejected due to political issues, which eventually became the lead-up to AES going bankrupt.

After the bankruptcy of AES, the bayonet was rebranded to Bayonet 2005 by Eickhorn-Solingen Ltd. (now Eickhorn-Solingen GmbH)

The CAN bayonet 2000/2005 is a German-designed Canadian bayonet manufactured by Eickhorn-Solingen GmbH. It has wire-cutting abilities while functioning as a combat bayonet.

The CAN bayonet 2000/2005 is 311 mm (12.2 in) long in total. Its 184 mm (7.2 in) blade has a thickness of 3.4 mm (0.13 in), and the muzzle ring diameter is 22.1 mm (0.87 in).

The CAN bayonet 2000/2005 weighs 310 g (11 oz) and has a different scabbard and vest frog from the C7 Nella bayonet.

The CAN bayonet 2000/2005 uses a hilt identical to US M7 bayonet, but with a different AES design instead of replicating the entire M7 bayonet's design.
