Well, I finally managed to get one of these, and it sure is diffferent. Like a Ka-Bar in a sense, but very robust, and I like it. I have compared it to the C7 Nella, and the US M9. why I collect thing edged, who knows, I got it in the post last week for $150AUD (including shipping from a place in Oklahoma, new and in the wrap). Noramally you can buy them in shoppes here, but you'll pay the retarded price of $320AUD. Thats nuts.
Anyways if you're interested, hunt around ebay, and search for simply 'okc3s', and you'll see what pops up.
Now about the bayonet.....
The distance from the crosspiece (crosspiece looks almost identical to the M7/C7 bayonet as does the rear of the bayonet too - even the way its affixed, by peaning, compaired to the M9's hex-key) to where the bayonet mount at the rear of the knife is longer than the M7 and the M9, so it does fit on an Austeyr (AUG), but the bayonet lug needs to be would down about 4mm so the crosspiece gets past the crown of the flash suppressor.
The OKC3S, is sharp, and has a ceramic sharpening stone on the back of the scabbard. Why the name? Well, OKC3S means Ontario Knife Company, Model 3, Serriated. Why brown? Its called coyote brown, and good for the new MARPAT, and great for the ME theatre too. Its MOLLE mountable, quick release, etc. The only wonky thing is, there is elastic material at the base, which may wear sooner than later, in the heat, cold, etc.
Much more intimidating than the good ole M7, and the M9 (the blade is an 2.4cm longer) - I believe anyways. Ontario, says that it can be used as a GP knife, with the advantage of fixing it to a rifle. However, don't think the Ka-Bar will be discontinued. It won't, not only for in the US supply system, but commercially too, the good ole Ka-Bar will be around for yrs to come.
Any input, questions, bitches or complaints, lets here 'em.
Here is a couple of pics. I'll,later post some more along with the C7 Nella, and Ka-Bar, just for comparison.

Wes
