The Model of 1905 bayonet was made for the U.S. M1903 Springfield rifle. [1] This designation was changed to Model 1905 in 1917, and then to M1905 in 1925, when the army adopted the M designation nomenclature. The M1905 bayonet has a 16 in (41 cm) steel blade and a 4 in (10 cm) handle with wooden or plastic grips.

In US service these transverse cuts served no official purpose.
