Has anyone seen or heard about conversions of the M1905 bayonet into "fighting knives" during WWII?

Utica Cutlery’s Kutmaster line sold surplus M1 bayonets to make a commercial field/hunting knife that is often listed for sale as a theater cut down fighting knife.

I remember hearing that many of them were cut down to about 8 inches in length during WWII to make them more versitile.

So, I was reading an article recently about some early WWII "fighting knives"; specifically the Mk I USN knife which used a fiber-sheath almost identical to the M1905, but shorter. This had me looking at one of the M1905's I own (very corroded, in need of TLC) and wondering if anyone had ever shortened a worn-out M1 bayonet for use as a knife.

I know some folks are of the opinion that "modifying" such antiques is heresy...and I'd agree if the article is very rare, or in good condition. Still, might make a pretty awesome blade if done correctly.

Anyone ever seen one, or better still...done the conversion?
