On the subject of bayonet use in the era of semi-automatic/automatic firearms, when the paratroopers were briefed on their D-Day jump and subsequent actions, they were told to use hand-grenades and bayonets as much as possible. This was to make them harder to locate and to conserve ammunition, since it wasn't known how long it would take for the ground forces to get inland to them. Some airborne troops lost their primary arms when they jumped due to various factors, and all that remained to them were grenades and bayonets. I suspect that more than a few German soldiers lost their lives to bayonets that dark early morning in Normandy.

I have another small 2-2.5" folder, Kershaw Shuffle. I carry this one most often and when I have my Glock. When I carry the Recon, I usually put it in my right front pocket and that gets in the way of my holster, so I don't carry the recon when I have the Glock with me. When I don't have the Glock I have two knives on me.

I have a Shuffle II that I carry when working. With the small size, I find it handy for a lot of little tasks.
