What is the hole for in this one, and why does the new marine bayonet (2nd picture) not have one?
If anyone knows advantages/disadvantages to both, please let me know because i'm going to pick one of the two up sometime in the future. M9 Bayonet USGI Black  OKCS3 Marine Bayonet with Scabbard

Attaches to the scabbard and creates the pivet point for a wire cutter.
Works pretty good, too. |

the new one for the Marines is just a K-Bar that goes on your rifle. |

You lose a little blade strength with the hole, but the cutter is damn handy. I keep a Bulgarian AK-74 bayo in my car specifically for the wire cutter. It is the shit . . . it will cut wire that most wire cutters wouldn't touch PLUS its insulated for up to 40K volts. w00t!  Disconnector |

I prefer a bangalore to clear barbed wire, and like the knife without a hole. Not eveyone needs a wire cutter. Sorta like not everyone needs a survival knife with a real tree saw and fish hook  |

IT's not the volts that will necessarily kill or harm you, it's the amperage. |
