    It is not a trench knife. It may have been used as one, but that was not it's intended purpose.
    These are called "knickers" and were a utility knife, often carried in a pocket of the "lederhosen".
    They are still manufactured today.

    This one has an unusual fitment of the ferule to the blade. It also appears that the sheath has been modified.
    Here are some of mine to compare. The third from the top was brought to Canada in 1954 by my father, and was used to skin out my rabbits when they were big enough.

    Thanks. Very nice collection.
    Is it common to have no maker's mark?

    Thank you.
    It is not uncommon. Some have been erased with time, and wear.
