That's why your standard-issue Marine Ka-bar knife is popular in the army. Thin. Smooth. Goes in and comes back out nicely. [/weaponry expert mode]
Don't forget to hone out the fuller on it so the bleed out from the penetration is better. I was always told that in WW2 most folks prefered their pack shovel with a sharpened edge.
