A beauty for sure, makes me think of finding the Cavalry Knife in a burnt shack in Red Dead 2.

An ungentlemanly weapon for a most ungentlemanly conflict.

Without the rum ration most attacks would have been impossible, I was told. You had to get the men fighting drunk beforehand.

Nice video! Can we get a collection tour? The gun room looks great

I’ve done a couple gun room tour videos, but I may do a complete collection walkthrough soon 👍🏻

I own one it's pretty awesome, and still very much needle sharp.

Nice pick up Thomas! 👍 Our military and collector market is on this weekend . I’m looking for SMLE wood to restore one of my sporter 303’s. Prices are stupid atm . Cheers mate . 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸

Thank you kindly! And good luck getting your rifle restored! Had a really hard time with a cracked SMLE stock a couple years ago myself, original stocks just don’t pop up that often

I saw a photo of the trench knife where the pyramid knuckles werent present but rather the knuckles were seperated....was that the dragon teeth

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 3 ай бұрын

If I am understanding your description correctly yes, it looks like wavy protrusions on both edges of the knuckle guard

The meanest weapon in world war 1 I was Told was the short shovel ,which everyone had ,🇬🇧

Putting an edge on shovels was definitely a mean adaptation

Very nice ! Thanks for the video . How much did you get this one for ?

I just picked one up with a 1918 sheath for $300. Did I do good?

@GreatNorthwestWeaponry 10 ай бұрын

You definitely did good, $500 without a sheath wouldn’t be that unreasonable

Yeah that tracks! Still a darn cool find, they don’t pop up all that often
