There was not alot of room to have large body movements.
Hence the introduction of the fighting knife. This is a quality reproduction German WWII Trench Knife with full tang. Hardwood grips are pinned in place. Worn on belt or as a boot knife, black finished metal sheath has boot/belt clip. BRAND NEW FIELD GRADE REPRODUCTION.
