The following background information may present examples of specific aspects of the prior art (e.g., without limitation, approaches, facts, or common wisdom) that, while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon.
It is known that there are advantageous to mounting an accessory, such as a bayonet, flash suppressor, silencer, grenade launcher, blank adapter, or the like, upon the end of gun barrels. Such accessories are usually mounted upon an adapter which constitutes a coupling for attaching the accessory to the gun barrel. Typically, a bayonet is a bladed weapon similar to a knife or short sword, or spike-shaped weapon designed to fit in, on, over or underneath the muzzle of a rifle, musket or similar firearm, augmenting the firearm to allow use as a pike.
Generally, a knife is a tool with a cutting edge or blade, hand-held or otherwise, and a handle. Knives are used as utensils, including knives used at the dining table (e.g., butter knives and steak knives) and knives used in the kitchen (e.g., paring knife, bread knife, cleaver). Many types of knives are used as tools, such as the combat knife carried by soldiers.
Generally, a utility knife is a knife used for general or utility purposes. The utility knife was originally a fixed blade knife with a cutting edge suitable for general work such as cutting hides and cordage, scraping hides, butchering animals, cleaning fish, and other tasks. Most utility knives are not well suited to use as offensive weapons, with the exception of some outdoor-type utility knives employing longer blades. However, even small razor-blade type utility knives may sometimes find use as slashing weapons.
Other proposals have involved utility knives and bayonets. The problem with these cutting and stabbing tools is that they do not combine a bayonet, a knife, and a utility knife. Also, there are numerous moving parts that complicate the cutting device. Even though the above cited cutting and stabbing tools meet some of the needs of the market, a multi-purpose bayonet knife assembly that detachably mounts to the distal end of a firearm barrel as a weapon to augment the firearm, quickly detaches from the firearm barrel to operate as a knife, and also provides multiple utilitarian components integrated into the blade, so as to minimize moving parts, is still desired.

The hilt distal end comprises a snap-on hook that serves the dual purpose of detachably coupling to the distal end of the firearm barrel, and providing leverage to open bottles, cans, and the like. The hilt further contains an integral flint that can be used to start fires. The flint A sleeve may be used to house the hilt, so as to enhance gripping the bayonet knife assembly.
The blade forms at least one longitudinally extending edge defined by a blade proximal end, a blade distal end, a first serrated edge, a second serrated edge, an angled bevel, and a double-sided blade tip forming at the blade distal end. The double-sided blade tip is oriented about 30° above the longitudinally extending edge of the blade. The blade proximal end comprises an integral time dial and compass. Further, the blade forms a dowel hole for sharpening a scissor, at least one nut socket hole for tightening nuts and bolts, and a longitudinally extending groove for carrying blood or other liquids from the blade proximal end to the blade tip. The cross guard serves as a nexus between the hilt and the blade. In yet other embodiments, the metallic composition of the blade and the cross guard may serve as an antenna.
