The British No. 4 Spike Bayonet is a type of bayonet used by the British Army during World War II. The Spike Bayonet or 'Pig Sticker' Bayonet and scabbard was originally issued for the Lee Enfield No.4 Rifle and latterly the Sten MkV, the British No 4 Mark II bayonet was a development of the No 4 Mk I bayonet intended to simplify production. The blade of the No 4 Mk II was a simple, circular sectioned spike - much easier to manufacture than the cruciform blade of the No 4 Mk 1. It was designed to be used with the Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifle, which was the standard-issue rifle for British troops during the war.
The No. 4 Spike Bayonet was a simple design, featuring a long, tapered spike that could be attached to the end of the rifle's barrel. It was designed to be used primarily for thrusting, rather than cutting or slashing, and was intended to provide soldiers with a close-quarters combat option in case their rifle's ammunition ran out or became ineffective. The No. 4 Spike Bayonet was made of steel and had a length of approximately 8 inches. It was designed to be lightweight and easy to use, with a simple mechanism for attaching and detaching it from the rifle.
