Trench knives were used in World War I, when troops would dig trenches to battle the opposing forces. They sometimes had to perform hand to hand combat in those trenches.

The 1918 Trench Knife was designed for close combat with a fixed, double edged blade of over 6 inches in length. Some Trench knives include a knuckle guard of sorts, and can include a scabbard of metal and leather.
