Historical Background

The sword bayonet was historically developed in the 18th and 19th centuries to provide soldiers with a weapon that could function both as a bayonet for mounting on rifles and as a standalone sidearm or fighting knife. Used by various armies worldwide—including French, British, and American forces—the sword bayonet allowed infantrymen to engage effectively in close combat after firing their weapons.

These blades were typically longer than standard knives, making them useful for thrusting, slashing, and survival tasks. Over time, sword bayonets evolved from battlefield accessories to collectible military tools and adaptable outdoor knives.
