M3 Trench Knife

Developed in 1943, the famous M3 Trench Knife was intended to be used by any U.S. Soldier during World War II who was not equipped with a bayonet. H. Boker & Co. was also among the nine manufacturers that produced the M3 Trench Knife during the war and delivered an order volume of 31,300 knives. The sister company of the Boker Manufactory in Solingen was located in New Jersey at the time.

The Boker M3 Trench Knife revives this classic piece of American military history, combining the historic design with high-quality materials and perfect workmanship. The black coated blade is made of the non-stainless carbon steel SK-85 and is marked with the original "H. Boker & Co." blade stamp from 1943. The handle is made of pressed leather rings and always fits securely in the hand, even in wet and humid conditions. The characteristic parry element prevents unintentional slipping onto the blade. The ricasso in the back of the blade not only reduces the weight and perfects the balance of the knife, but also emphasizes the clean lines. With authentic U.S. M8A1 sheath and individual serial number.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
