Original German WWI Trench Fighting Knife with Ribbed Grips & Original Rolled Steel Scabbard
In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Fitted with a single edged and a slight Bowie style blade this is an original fighting knife used by the Germans in WW1 and then again in WW2. In nice used condition, this knife has an all-wood grip with hatching secured by two pins. The blade is single edged but has a small false edge of about two inches at the point. The knife comes in an original rolled steel World War One scabbard with a very fragile leather belt loop which retains the securing strap and snap, but the front piece of the snap has broken off. It will still snap closed, however.
The blade is in fair shape with some small chips to the edge as shown, but not very much oxidation besides at the tip. The scabbard retains the belt loop but the securing snap is missing the top piece as mentioned. The strap is extremely fragile.
No visible markings but 100% original, a classic example for display in any quality German edged weapons collection of the Great War or World War Two.
