Any bayonet experts ?

My father brought home from Korea, what I thought was an M1 bayonet.
Found it in a box of stuff while cleaning out.
He never talked about any of the guns & stuff to us, only the 'War stories'.
I searched the internet and found an M1 bayonet not even close to what he had.

It looks to be a type of machete
14 1/2 " oal, 10" blade
6" blood channel, 1 1/8 wide blade

I have tried to post pics, but am not able to
