Historical Background:
The 1914 model sapper bayonet, designed for the Swiss Schmidt-Rubin rifle, is known for its versatility and practicality. This bayonet was used as a close combat weapon and a tool for engineering work. The saw blade allowed for quick clearing of obstacles, cutting wood, and other sapper tasks. The bayonet had a sturdy construction that guaranteed its durability even in the most difficult conditions.
Officially adopted along with the carbine in 1914, this bayonet is also known as the “1911 model bayonet” because of the date of adoption of the carbine itself. In addition to its primary purpose, this bayonet was also used with the 1931 model short rifle, demonstrating its versatility.
The main feature of this bayonet lies in its construction: the blade has a single blade with a chisel and saw blade on the point, including 32 double tines, and an extended double-bladed fighting end. The handle, made of two wooden cheeks, is firmly riveted together to add strength and durability.
This bayonet was issued not only to sappers, but also to a number of other military specialists such as blacksmiths, wagoners, and artillerymen. All of these troops received this bayonet as standard equipment, which emphasizes its versatility.
