Original German WWI Trench Fighting Knife by ERN with Ribbed Grips and Replica Scabbard Category_MG 42 Accessories By escorting bombersOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice service worn example of an original trench fighting knife (kampfmesser) with scabbard, as used by the Germans in WWI. Based on the amount of wear and the replica scabbard, it is very likely it saw service long after WWI, possibly into WWII. The design features a full tang with an all wood ribbed hilt secured by two pins. The knife has a single edged spear point blade of 5 1 4", with a false edge
