WWII M3 Trench Knife with Sheath

M3 Trench Knife Pattern

This is a reproduction of the US M3 trench knife, the fighting knife carried by American troops in World War II. It copies the original layout: a narrow spear-point blade, a ringed grip, a bent crossguard and an OD green scabbard that hangs from a pistol belt. It suits collectors, WWII reenactors and anyone building out a period display or field kit.

Features

• Spear-Point Blade — The blade tapers to a centered point, with the top edge ground back from the tip as a partial false edge, which is a bevel that looks like a second edge and helps the point penetrate.
• Black Blade Finish — A dark finish covers the blade and cuts glare, matching the look of wartime issue knives.
• Ringed Grip — The brown handle is built up in stacked rings, giving a ridged surface that keeps your hand from sliding along it.
• Bent Crossguard — A black metal guard sits between grip and blade, with one end bent, following the original M3 pattern.
• Black Pommel Cap — A flared black cap closes off the end of the handle and stops the hand slipping off the back.
• OD Green Scabbard — The sheath body is olive drab, the standard US military green, with a black metal throat where the blade enters.
• Snap Retention Strap — A webbing strap with a metal snap closes over the grip to hold the knife in the sheath.
• Wire Belt Hook — A double wire hook on the green nylon hanger clips into the eyelets of a US-style pistol belt, the same way period gear attached.

Sheath And Carry

The knife comes with its scabbard, which has a rigid olive drab body, a black metal throat and a riveted green nylon webbing hanger. The wire hook lets it ride from an eyeleted pistol belt, so it fits straight into a WWII or Korea-era load setup. The snap strap keeps the knife seated when you move.
