Best resource I've found. They were the activists working with the lawmakers. Knives with knuckles are still illegal to possess. (Thus I sold my AA LB)

It's not something that I'd be inclined to test, but I question the constitutionality of a law that bans the possession of a "Model 1918 WWI Trench Knife and similar."
I vaguely recall reading some 19th century Texas case saying the predecessor of this provision protects the right to own (or "keep and bear') the sort of arms that are suitable for military service, and I suppose the ban on brass knuckles might arguably be justified on the theory that they're not the sort of arms that are used in "lawful defense," being primarily a thugs weapon used for other than lawful purposes. But it would be hard to make that argument about a knife that was designed specifically for military service (or derived from such a knife), or where the guard (like a D-guard) is designed for retention or to protect the fingers when engaged in non-criminal activities like chopping wood.
But that's neither her nor there, limiting the constitutional protection to arms suitable for military service was overruled by a subsequent Texas supreme court decision, and they said the constitutional protection extended to "such arms as are commonly kept, according to the customs of the people, and are appropriate for open and manly use in self-defense, as well as such as are proper for the defense of the State." If an Argonne Assault isn't a weapon suitable for "manly use in self-defense," I don't know what is. And unlike brass knuckles, trench knives have never been particularly associated with criminal activity and aren't likely what the legislature intended to ban.
Also, when the Constitution of 1876 was enacted, they consciously adopted the current language that lets the legislature regulate the "wearing" of arms, but not prohibit arms. Article 1, § 23 of the Texas Constitution states: “Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”
The prior constitution, adopted under the reconstruction government, said: "Every person shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the state, under such regulations as the legislature may prescribe." During the time after the military relinquished control and Republicans controlled the state, all sorts of tyrannical and obnoxious laws were passed attempting to limit Texans' rights to keep and bear arms, which is something Texans of the time did not seem to appreciate, and after the Democrats got control again, the Constitution of 1876 (the current constitution) was enacted, and it eliminated the legislatures power to regulate the "keeping" or "bearing" of arms; and limited the legislature's power to regulate just the "wearing" of arms.
But I guess I've wandered pretty far off topic, so, in the words of Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.
