Outtair Posted August 17, 2010 Share #51 Posted August 17, 2010 These are my 4 WWI Trench Knives. Both the M1918 have been personalized to the owner. The LF&C was found in an abandoned building being torn down in Nashville, Tn in the 1960's. I also have the steel sheath and canvas cover somewhere in all my boxes. The AU Lion has Curry, which is my last name. Another collector notified me it was on a sale list, back in the snail mail days, and I purchased it. The 2 M1917 are LF&C and AC CO. I use to buy these 1917 everytime I saw one and at one time had 5. Enjoy them. Outtair Tim Curry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbertson Posted January 13, 2011 Share #57 Posted January 13, 2011 I know it's been asked before, but for those who don't, PLEASE post your photos in the thread as opposed to linking to it at some crappy photo storage site. Later, when people look through these threads, it would be nice if they could see a picture of what is being refered to in the text, instead of relying on their imagination. Also, many of these sites seem to be infested with some sort of virus or other disease that slows my computer to a crawl and sometimes freezes it up altogether. Sure it's a 1949 Compumaster Deluxe, but I can't be the only one who dreads hunting down pictures in these horrid places. The reason for my rant is my computer just froze and drop off the 'net altogether while looking for a linked photo in this thread at some site with Shack in the name. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted January 13, 2011 Share #58 Posted January 13, 2011 Here is mine. I have been told it is modified for airborne use? The hand guard has been ground. Scabbord is marked Camillus WW2 production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hink441 Posted January 15, 2011 Share #60 Posted January 15, 2011 Here are my MK1s. The top was cut down and used by a US Marine on Saipan, the second I have no history on and the third was used by a trooper in 2/502. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocktrooper15 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share #61 Posted January 18, 2011 Great knives gentlemen! Thanks for sharing! Bones: Most paratroopers who were issued this knife filed down the side guard. Not all of them did (as proven by pictures). However, since the guard is filed down and came with a leather replacement sheath, I would say that it most likely has a history with a paratrooper.

I would love to use that picture as wallpaper if you're ok with that. Thank you. Best regards, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les George Posted April 8, 2018 Share #71 Posted April 8, 2018 For the 100 year anniversary, I am doing my version of the m1918. I had my handles cast out of titanium though. I had a LF&C handled 3D scanned then corrected the flaws in the cast surface in the CAD. So they feel like an LF&C handle but a little smoother and more uniform.
