What would be YOUR trench knife?

This would have a good chance of being with me.

You wouldn't - hobbits are danged stealthy.

I'd take my Becker BK9 though in this instance, I wonder if my son's BK7 would be a better choice.

A FS dagger as a personal backup.
A short Warhammer as primary weapon. Spike plus a hammer head.
 
While I served I carried a Gerber Mark II. With what I have now, I would choose my Carbon V Cold Steel Recon Scout.

They were there.......just no one noticed.........the big people tend to overlook the little people.

For me, I would like something with about a 12 inch blade stabbing and chopping ability. Busse KZII, thinned down a bit, with a sharpened top clip. Pared up with a spike hawk, and I am good.

I hope them invisible or little hobbits don't carry Killa Zillas in the trenches :D
 
I liked Steve McQueen's choice in the movie "Hell is for Heroes". His matter of fact reply says it all, "butcher knife!"

hmm. effectiveness would depend on which one. a steak knife, kind of shape might be ok, but a butchers cleaver would suck in a trench. its a chopping knife only. its not that good at slashing, and has about 0% stabbing power. some chinese cleavers can stab "Ok" but not very good eather.
 
My aunt called me last year after she was cleaning out some boxes in the garage and found an old knife. She told me, "It was your Uncle Bill's. He brought it back from the war." I went over and she gave me an L.F.& C. 1918! Some where along the line he'd lost the original scabbard and it was stuffed into a metal Mauser bayonet scabbard. In spite of the years it still has some of the blacking on the knuckle grip and the blade. If it was good enough for Uncle Bill, it's good enough for me.

This thing looks cool! I searched and searched for this on all kinds of sites when I first saw it and came up empty, I was surprised. Since when does China NOT export tons of any kind of tool?

They're all over the 'bay, at outrageous prices. I'd buy one in the 30 buk range, but not twice that.

Pitbull, I can't post one, but PM me and I'll happily email you one.

I made an offer for two at 30 each, and shipping looks like it would be 50 extra. I went off the fact that they offer a dozen with free shipping for 720. Will see what they counter offer.
