Description

Physical description

Knife and sheath. The knife has a shaped to hand light alloy grip with steel knuckle-bow; the blade has twin fullers.

Label

The specialized nature of trench warfare, as it developed during the First World War, spawned a variety of new weapons. Many of these, such as clubs and knives intended for close quarter fighting, recalled more primitive eras of warfare. This trench knife is one of a series produced by the Robbins company of Dudley, Worcestershire. It is of a type known as a push (or 'punch') dagger, as the grip, which is right angles to the blade, is held in the user's clenched fist.

Stamped on underside of grip
