Still very effective, it’s nearly impossible to stitch up wounds made by these types of knifes / bayonets. I think they actually tried to ban them due to cruelty at one point.
@@haroldbalzac6336 Yes thats correct & why I said it’s nearly impossible. At the time it was harder to stitch up this type of wound versus a more common one. Also the Saw Teeth Bayonet was the one I was thinking about that was against the Geneva Conventions.
The Resistance also used the cut tips of Lebel bayonets to make (commando) daggers by welding on a cross guard and fitting a file handle (I happen to have one of the few surviving examples).
Never read about this before but I 100% could see them doing this. If you have any pictures of your dagger or any info on them send it my way. I’d love to read about it.
The bayonnet with long triangle blades had been cut down for practicality and stability. Often in wwl , by many nations, swordblades , still in stock , had been cut into pieces to get perhaps two or three daggers.
Böker company produces a copy, at least few years ago. Some german hunting knifes producers ( more and more traditional companies close their gates) still produce the Nicker knifes, once private bought by german soldiers ( in 1980s sometimes elderly men still carried this knife Type).
Very cool! I didn’t know these existed! Suggestion for your speaking style- Saying, “knife slash dagger” doesn’t sound very professional, just pick one or find a more eloquent way to say it.

Reminds me of the daggers they used to duel wield with Rapiers to get in close and wedge between the armor joints.

@@RetroRetrieverSurplus I am sure they are, I used to live near a bad neighborhood and saw crackheads shiv each other with ice picks.
@@RetroRetrieverSurplusWrong. They are not impossible to stitch up.

Yes, this was a very common practice. Still looking for German examples for my collection.
