All About Pocket Knives

Just picked this up today unsure about if it’s old or a reproduction.

WW2 vintage German.

Looks to me more like a bayonet of some kind, with the bird's (eagle, presumably) eye designed as the release button.
The back of the handle is dead flat, which makes me think it belongs on the underside of a rifle.

I agree with Tasky. In any event, if the spine of the blade is not sharpened it isn't a dagger. A dagger should be double edged.

Nice find!
Definitely not a repro. I wonder what rifle it was attached to?

WW1 K98 Bayonet made by WKC.

Several other sources concur.
