During World War I and World War II, U.S. military forces used a number of interesting edged weapons. The 16-inch bayonet issued with the Springfield and M1 Garand rifle was later shortened to 12 inches for easier use. There were also purpose-made bayonets for the M1 Carbine and 1941 Johnson rifle. The fighting knife line included a host of different kinds, from WWI-type trench knifes to the famous Marine Corps KA-BAR series of combat knives.
