Adopted in 1907 to fit the SMLE rifle the ‘07 was longer than the previous 1903 bayonet it replaced and was designed to replicate the reach of the old 1888 bayonet when fitted to the long lee rifles in combat. This it achieved but at the cost of inferior performance as a fighting knife, the blade being too long for really effective use as a knife.
