Original U.S. WWII M3 Utica Fighting Knife with M8A1 Scabbard - Excellent Condition Fusee Spring & Cover and a very small number

and a very small number of coalition forces

By 1944 the weapon was so well integrated that each infantry regiment had an establishment of 36 held by the regimental anti-tank company

so it wasn't worth it

M-1918 Mark I Trench Knife is easily identifiable due to its large “brass knuckle” style guard and grip

From there
