Do you mean the American M1918 Trench Knife? It found it's way to some US Paras, but not, to my knowledge Brits (The FS had a pretty mean Pommel! TBH the US Knife doesn't conform with the Brit training). This is not to say that there weren't civvy ones used :wink:

In the chaos of battle, when the ground beneath your feet is a slurry of blood, puke, p**s and the entrails of friends and enemies alike, it's easy to turn to the gods for salvation. But it's soldiers who do the fighting, and soldiers who do the dying, and the gods never get their feet wet.

Er - a picture/photo would help

There WERE knuckle knives on British issue/use - maybe its one of those?
BC-41, Robbins of Dudley, etc. etc.
But, as Oggy said - it may be US

Post a pic please & you'll have all doubt removed...
