As a fellow expert in military knives, who also has a degree in History, I acknowledge your degree, your expertise, and the degree of your expertise. I enjoyed the information you presented, as well as the Winston Churchill jokes.
There is a saying that those of us with expertise and degrees in history and are of a more erudite predisposition or inclination, if you will, are wont to say: History, she is a fickle mistress and she doth move in mysterious ways. How are trench knives and my benefactor William's seemingly confused and misplaced resentment of Winston Churchill related? Several Ways. 1. Winston Churchill fought in WWI. So did these trench knives. 2. Most importantly - Trench knives and Churchill both = history. If you think about it or choose to not think about it too hard it makes sense. PS: William, if you read this, while your positions on Winston Churchill may SEEM confused and misplaced to those less familiar with history, as I have assured you before, they are not. You are simply picking up on some far more obscure historical information than most have access to, which may make it SEEM misguided and nonsensical to the layperson.
Would the 1918s be sharpened? What is the best quality replica in terms of authentic look and a durable knife to do tests on? I found this looking at reviews Your style is cool. I'd enjoy seeing history about other blades of other periods. Did they use a carbon steel that is around today, like 1095 or 1045? What would be the difference in comparable steels from this era to that era?

Good presentation’ not sure how Comrade Churchill and Gulags plus trench knives run in the same circle’ but informative

@Frank McGovern great response
@Frank McGovern I want to get one eventually. Buy once cry once, so I'm trying to do my due diligence
A friend of mine has one he wanted he show to you, maybe get your opinion on the value?
Sorry I missed this! I would love to see it and provide some valuation! You are reaching out to an expert in history, so this is in my wheelhouse.
I worked with guys that had degrees . totally useless individuals ..no offense
