History

The World War II German Trench Boot Knife, also known as the "Boot Dagger," was a type of dagger issued to German soldiers during World War II. It was designed to be carried in the boot and could serve as a last-ditch self-defense weapon. These knives were not standardized and came in various designs, but they typically featured a single-edged blade with a handle designed for gripping.

The scabbard for the trench boot knife was designed to attach to the soldier's boot or leg, allowing for easy carrying and quick access. The scabbard often had straps or loops to secure it in place, and the design varied depending on the manufacturer and specific model.

These trench boot knives were not limited to German soldiers; similar types of knives were used by soldiers from other nations as well. They were intended for close combat and self-defense situations when firearms were not readily available or practical.
