1918 Trench Knife
The 1918 Trench Knife is a full-size 12-inch replica of the legendary U.S. Mark I trench knife carried by American soldiers in the closing days of World War I. It features a 6.5-inch double-edged stainless steel dagger blade, a brass-finished cast knuckle duster grip stamped "U.S. 1918," and a pyramid skull-crusher pommel — all the defining details of the original close-quarters weapon. A period-style sheath is included for safe carry and display. A solid pick for WWI collectors, militaria enthusiasts, and reenactors who want the look and heft of the Mark I without paying antique prices.

Overall a good representationIf you own an original, you won't like this knife at all. I USED TO OWN an original and times got tough so it had to be sold. This knife is a good representation of the 1918, but is not going to cut it for anyone who has an original. I am using this for our reenactments and its held up for that now going on a full year.

1918 Trench Knife Value for Your DollarsI received my 1918 Trench Knife from KeepShooting a short while ago and find the knife to be a Very Good Value for the price paid. I have only seen photos of the Original but this one appears to be a very close match. The handle looks to be very sturdy, as it should. The Blade used for this replica is the only negative, in my opinion. Not a fatal flaw but the blade could be better even if it cost a little more. I think that the one used is a bit on the too thin side. The blade profile would a better fit for a concealed carry knife. The scabbard is excellent but the leather could be, again, more sturdy or thicker. Even with those comments I like the knife a lot and believe it is a very good value for the price paid.

Fine reproductionWhile it isn't going to have a chunky blade like the originals of the First World War, the knife has weight to it, actually disassembles if you unscrew the bottom skull puncher, and has a tight sheath that is also metal. I've seen others that flap around in the sheath a lot, this reproduction seems to fit well. There's a loop in the sheath that you can fit your belt through, which is also nice. Overall, for the price, I'd highly recommend this blade.

Looks GreatReally cool replica but it will work for scaring somebody. Doesn't have many tactical uses but still a cool item.
