M3 1943 Military Dagger with Sheath

This US M3 Military Dagger knife is an exact replica of the M3 Trench Knife that was first issued to American soldiers in 1943. This knife was particularly designed for use by elite forces in need of a close-combat knife such as airborne troops and Army Rangers. As more M3 knives became available in 1943 and 1944, the knife was issued to other soldiers not otherwise equipped with a bayonet.
