US trench knife 803414

Many fighting knives were used by American Troops during World War II, but this E.G. Waterman was one of the most versatile and therefore most popular. Original replica from the Collection known as E.G. Williams Fighting Knife. It actually belongs to E.G. Waterman of San Francisco, and we have reproduced it in meticulous detail. It was very effective as a combat knife in the trenches. Its flat back and very solid pointed finish made it very effective. It was also robust enough for use as a survival knife, making this knife popular among civilians as well.

The blade is made of high carbon forged steel and properly tempered in a computer-controlled oven. The back of the blade is not sharpened. There is a convenient bottle opener on the top of the blade. The blade is engraved with "E G W KNIFE" just like the original. Dark, fine-grained wooden pommel contoured and grooved for a perfect grip and upper and lower hand guard to secure the hold. The pommel has a ring on top to attach with a cord. It fits belts up to 6 cm wide.

It comes equipped with a high-quality leather sheath, riveted and sewn with waxed linen thread.
