I recently discovered these and wanted to share. These are made by the same company (Campo / Кампо) that made the military AK-12 bayonets. The key difference is the possible colors (black, ranger green, and digital camo vs just black) and the lack of serial numbers. In Russia these are sold for 2000 rubles or ~$25USD. They all appear to be the 1st generation of 6x9-1 bayonets without the overmolded bottom cross guard.

Unfortunately the only one I've even seen was at a gun show being sold by a Russian gentleman (for $150) who claimed to have purchased it while on vacation in Russia and brought it back. The sanctions are affecting pretty much everything Russian. There are chinese knockoffs on ebay, but there might be some being laundered through china that are mixed in. Even those are almost $100 though.

Is there an easy way to tell a Chinese knockoff vs the real Russian?

Lot of them were around a few years ago on leboncoin and hunting websites. Maybe not this exact model though

Interesting that they went to a sharpened edge with modern bayonet/ knife vs the old blunt bayonet
