oh and another note. if ya have a dull knife and cut yerself and you were to look at the cut under a microscope it would have ragged edges. these knife cuts take a long time to heal. thats why scapels are razor like in design to make a clean incision and the wound will heal quicker.

many G.I.'s of all nations recognized this and never sharpened their bayonets in the event of having to involve themselves in one of the more grusome aspects of war.............."THE FIXED BAYONET CHARGE"!

many bayonets came with "BLOOD LETS". these allowed a soldier to remove the bayonet after plunging it into enemies body quickly. another trick was the soldier shot a round also as he was withdrawing bayonet from enemies body to facilitate quicker removal and move onto next poor soul.
