Technical details and instructions

Measurements

The length of the frog itself (excluding the carrier strap) is 35 cm / 13.8" and the width is 7.5 cm / 3". The girth of the Skrama 240 Plastic Blade Cover is 136 mm / 5.35" and it goes in with a very tight fit: smaller items can be retained quite well but larger ones will probably not fit.

Because the DPM is more advanced it is also heavier. The green one with Pattern 58 -type attachments weighs 130 g / 4.6 oz and the DPM-patterned 150 g / 5.3 oz. Trim the loops and buckles as necessary to save weight.

Fitting the Skrama 420 blade cover

Boil half a liter of water and pour it slowly (it trickles from the bottom) into the frog to expand and soften it before inserting the 240-length blade cover. This is not necessary but allows you to go deeper. Be careful to not burn yourself.

How to kill with a bayonet

There's a legen-bloody-dary clip of a training session from the '80s. Lighten up your dayand view the video on YooToob. The link is not broken, we hope. Sue us if it is.

Description

What is a bayonet frog, really? Why isn't it called a sheath? Don't know, don't care. Here are some British bayonet frogs from the PLCE era or even earlier. These are Skrama-compatible, too!

We have a special relationship with these bayonet frogs for an unusual reason: they fit the Plastic Blade Covers of our Skrama 200 and Skrama 240 so well that we officially recommend these items as a sheath option. The weapons-grade tactical appearance certainly fits some loadouts much better and the price is an absolute steal. By the time you're reading this you have probably made up your mind and the rest of the text serves no purpose.

The inside is lined with a grippy rubber-like fabric and has a plastic stiffener to maintain a flat front. The back has either a PLCE or Pat58 type belt loop system at two heights, and a male side-release buckle for lower hanging. If you're interested in using the hanging strap, we sell a 40mm female side-release buckle fit for the purpose.

British army surplus

The condition is very good, most of these are completely unissued! Expect light signs of use and storage dust, nothing worse.
