What is a Trench Knife?
A trench knife is a knife which has been specially designed for close-quarters combat such as that which characterized the trench warfare of the First World War. In fact, the trench knife design originated during this conflict, and it proved so useful that militaries continued to issue trench knives long after the days of trench warfare were over. Suppliers of knives and military equipment often carry trench knives, including replicas of famous models from the First and Second World Wars.
