After testing in early 1943, the U. S. Army decided to shorten the M1905 bayonet's blade to 10 inches (25. 4 cm). Production of this new bayonet, designated the M1, began at the five remaining manufacturers by April 1943. Because of quality control issues and problems meeting delivery expectations, Wilde Drop Forge and Tool was dropped from the bayonet production program after finishing their run of M1905 bayonets.
