During WW1, German troops were issued with a bayonet called the S98/05, designed to rely on the length of its hilt mounting to fix the blade to its rifle. The weapon was issued in two designs: one with a serrated saw back edge and one without. Those featuring a serrated edge only made up 6% of the total number of bayonets issued. This WW1 sawback bayonet was reserved for NCOs, Pioneers, machine gun crews, and, most infamously, the storm troops known as Stosstruppen. It was a favorite amongst specialist units due to its effectiveness in cutting down bushes and barbed wire characteristic of the no-mans-land of WW1. Following Germany’s defeat in WW1, production of this (Sawback) bayonet stopped completely.
