Original German WWI Trench Fighting Knife by ERN with Ribbed Grips and Scabbard German Uniforms This tore the stitching onOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice service used example of an original trench fighting knife (kampfmesser) with its original scabbard, as used by the Germans in WWI.

The knife has a single edged spear point blade of 5 1 2", with a false edge on the top,
