On the German side, the <i>Nahkampfmesser</i> and associated knives were widely issued to the ordinary soldier for combat and utility purposes, while Allied armies mostly issued trench knives to elite infantry units and soldiers not equipped with the <a href="/wiki/Bayonet" title="Bayonet">bayonet</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-BUL_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BUL-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_trench_knives">Early trench knives</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Trench_knife&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early trench knives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>With the exception of the German <i>Nahkampfmesser</i> (or close combat knife),<sup id="cite_ref-BUL_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BUL-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> most early trench knives were fabricated by hand by individual soldiers or blacksmiths for the purpose of silently killing sentries and other soldiers during trench raids.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These early "trench knives" were often shortened and sharpened Army-issue bayonets. One type of stabbing weapon, the <i><a href="/wiki/French_Nail" class="mw-redirect" title="French Nail">French Nail</a></i>, was made by cutting and pointing the steel stakes used to support the barbed wire protecting trenches. Some historians say that some trench knives models were inspired by the <a href="/wiki/Bowie_knife" title="Bowie knife">Bowie knife</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Soon afterwards, these fabricated trench knives were used in defensive close-quarters trench warfare, and such fighting soon revealed limitations in existing designs. </p><p>A more elegant form of the <i>French Nail</i> was the <i>Poignard-Baïonnette Lebel M1886/14</i>. Approved as a standard military infantry weapon after its development by Lieutenant Colonel Coutrot<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> of the French Army, the <i>Poignard-Baïonnette Lebel</i> consisted of a long, needle-pointed, <a href="/wiki/Stiletto" title="Stiletto">stiletto</a>-profile blade with wooden handle and an integrated knuckle guard made of steel. Originally a conversion of the French <i>Épée-Baïonnette Modèle 1886</i> (bayonet), and designed strictly as an offensive weapon, the <i>Poignard-Baïonnette Lebel</i> used a section of the M1886 Lebel's long, narrow <a href="/wiki/Stiletto" title="Stiletto">stiletto</a>-type cruciform blade, designed to quickly kill an enemy soldier with a deep thrust. Up to three trench knives could be constructed from a single M1886 Lebel bayonet. </p><p>Because French industry was working under wartime conditions with numerous material shortages, often using subcontracted labor, even officially sanctioned French Army trench knives tend to vary significantly from knife to knife. The need for knives was so great that already-understrength French Army formations were forced to demobilize hundreds of former cutlery workers so that they could return to their former jobs and begin quantity production of trench knives for the armed forces. As the war went on, newer and more versatile blade-type trench knife patterns such as the double-edged dagger <i>Couteau Poignard Mle 1916 dit Le Vengeur</i> began to replace the <i>French Nail</i> and earlier stiletto-style trench knives.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The French lead in trench knife development was closely followed by the United States, which introduced three successive trench knife models - the M1917, M1918, and <a href="/wiki/Mark_I_trench_knife" title="Mark I trench knife">Mark I (1918)</a> - all based directly or indirectly upon previous French designs. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="German_Army_trench_knives">German Army trench knives</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Trench_knife&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: German Army trench knives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The German <i>Nahkampfmesser</i> (translated: <i>close combat knife</i>) was the standard issue German combat knife during the First World War.<sup id="cite_ref-BUL_4-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BUL-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It remained in service in modified form through the end of the Second World War.<sup id="cite_ref-SAI_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SAI-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most of these knives had slab wooden grips and metal sheaths and were sturdily made.

The M1917 featured a triangular <a href="/wiki/Stiletto" title="Stiletto">stiletto</a> blade, wooden <a href="/wiki/Hilt#Grip" title="Hilt">grip</a>, metal knuckle guard, and a rounded pommel. The M1917 proved unsatisfactory in service, and a slightly improved version, the M1918, was adopted within months. Despite this, the M1918 is almost identical to the M1917, differing primarily in the construction and appearance of the knuckle guard. Usable only as stabbing weapons, the M1917 and M1918 frequently suffered broken blades. Their limited utility and general unpopularity caused the <a href="/wiki/American_Expeditionary_Forces" title="American Expeditionary Forces">AEF</a> to empanel a testing board in 1918 to test various trench knives and select a replacement. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:M1918_Trench_Knife.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/M1918_Trench_Knife.jpg/220px-M1918_Trench_Knife.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/M1918_Trench_Knife.jpg/330px-M1918_Trench_Knife.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/M1918_Trench_Knife.jpg/440px-M1918_Trench_Knife.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="426" /></a><figcaption>Mark I brass knuckles Trench Knife</figcaption></figure> <p>This design was followed by the <a href="/wiki/Mark_I_trench_knife" title="Mark I trench knife">Mark I</a>, which was designed by a board of U.S. Army officers to remedy certain deficiencies of the M1917/18.<sup id="cite_ref-CRO_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CRO-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Adopted in late 1918, with a blade profile patterned after the French <i>Couteau Poignard Mle 1916 dit Le Vengeur</i>, most Mark I knives were completed too late to see service in the trenches of World War I. </p><p>During World War II, the Mark I was issued in 1942 and 1943 to <a href="/wiki/Paratrooper" title="Paratrooper">airborne troops</a>, <a href="/wiki/U.S._Army_Rangers" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Army Rangers">Army Rangers</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Marine_Raider" class="mw-redirect" title="Marine Raider">Marine Raiders</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-SPR_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SPR-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-CAN_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CAN-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-SHA_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SHA-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Mark I featured a <a href="/wiki/Tang_(tools)" title="Tang (tools)">full-tang</a> design with a double-edged blade and a heavy <a href="/wiki/Bronze" title="Bronze">bronze</a> <a href="/wiki/Hilt" title="Hilt">hilt</a> incorporating a <a href="/wiki/Hilt#Guard" title="Hilt">guard</a> ostensibly shaped as a <i><a href="/wiki/Brass_knuckles" title="Brass knuckles">knuckle duster</a></i>, though the latter was intended to protect the fingers and prevent the knife from being knocked from the hand while in combat rather than for use as a weapon.
