The original M3 Trench Knife was designed in 1943 to be used by US soldiers not equipped with a bayonet during WWII. The first troops to receive them were the Airborne, Mountain Ranger and Glider infantry units. As a celebration of the 65th anniversary, Boker Plus has reintroduced this classic knife along with a reproduction metal US M8A1 scabbard. The black coated blade is high carbon SK-5 steel and features a replica of the original H. Boker & Co. blade tang. The handle is stacked leather. Each has a laser engraved serial number.
