How We Choose
With the selection of bayonets available today you have the choice of styles for different missions. Since the bayonet is also a hand-to-hand combat knife, one with less weight will reduce hand fatigue, and different steels offer greater durability. We looked at the bayonets that were easy to attach, something needed in a service bayonet. We also looked at the reviews by former Marines to get real-world experience from a veteran.
We evaluated bayonets by looking at their manufacturing process, construction, and sharpness. We looked for a balance between the weight of the knife and its ability to do its job properly. That meant focusing on how well the blade could hold an edge in terms of durability. We also took into consideration what materials were used to make it and how long they will last.
