Who brings a knife to a gun-fight?

For whatever reason 40K always made me think of late 19th century warfare for some reason, probably that officers tend to have a sword and pistol. Though bayonets are seemingly rare in the 40K universe, which seems a bit odd. I've found this video to be a fairly good explanation of why one would want both a firearm and either sword or bayonet in late 19th century warfare, I wonder how much of it could reasonably be applied to 40K as a setting?
