A few years ago I came into possession of one of these knives. A very close friend of mine gave me this knife before he died so it has alot of sentimental value as well as being a workhorse in my collection. When he gave it to me, he told me it was a WWI fighting knife. I had no reason to question this.
Now it has been a few years since his passing and I had gotten more curious about the history of his knife. After reading up on it and finding the value and what not, I noticed I could not find a single one of these knives from WWI, everyone of them were from WWII. This man was always very knowledgeable about firearms and knives and he absolutely insisted this was from the 1st great war. Is this possible? Did they even make this knife in WW1? I have zero intention of ever getting rid of it but I am still curious on if this really is a WW1 knife. Thanks,
