I like the No.9 for looks, yes its not that practical in the hand not having a handle so to speak but with that said with it placed on the end of the rifle with its knife like appearance with the clip point, would put the wind up the enemy seeing a large group of soldiers bearing down on your position ready to do the business.

As a side note to bayonets ~ in WWI the Germans feared the Australianicon soldiers dexterity with the 07 pattern bayonet when our troops got into their trenches and started to work them over with the instrument, in fact the Germans hated being opposite the Australians at anytime.
