A crude copy of the U.S. M7 Bayonet-Knife manufactured in the Philippines. The bayonet is outwardly similar to its U.S. cousin, but is constructed differently. The pommel has been milled smooth after peening, unlike U.S. M7 bayonets, which are peened and left proud. The plastic grip scales are hollow and secured with phillips-head screws in large brass threaded inserts, where U.S. grip scales are solid, secured with slotted screws in small steel inserts.

The Philippine M7 bayonet scabbard is patterned after the U.S. M8A1 scabbard. The belt hanger rivets and glove fastener are steel. The letters "AFP" (Armed Forces of the Philippines) are stamped into the steel throatpiece. The scabbard body has the AFP Crest molded-in and a crude steel tip.

Military Assistance Program (MAP) records document that the U.S. provided 23,011 M16A1 rifles, 1,030 M7 bayonets, and 7,310 M8A1 scabbards to the Philippines between 1966 and 1973. During the 1970s, the Philippines reportedly also purchased 4,035 M16s from the U.S. via Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and 45,000 directly from Colt.
