Please note: Issues with a replica bayonet not fitting the rifle is not uncommon and sometimes revisions must be made. This is due to the manufacturing of both the original rifle a well as the replica bayonet because they were not made by the same manufacturer.

It is normal for the bluing on the blade of a K-98 Mauser bayonet (or any similarly blued steel blade) to show some rubbing or wear when repeatedly inserted into and withdrawn from the scabbard. Bluing is a surface treatment—a thin layer of black oxide (magnetite, Fe₃O₄)—applied to steel to provide limited rust resistance and a dark finish. This finish is not especially thick or hard, and mechanical friction from the tight fit of the scabbard can gradually wear away the bluing, especially on high-contact areas like the blade's edges or sides. This phenomenon is well-documented among collectors and restorers of original K98 bayonets, where bluing loss is common on blades.
