i know that the military pre geneva convention had a tri edged trench knife. but they where outlawed for warfare because they produced a wound that was very hard to stop blood loss or suture so they where deemed inhumane. is anyone producing this type of dagger currently ? or models availeble on the used market? i don't know much about them ,any info would be helpfull
The civil war bayonets were triangle shaped to cause a nastier wound. The edges don't necessarily have to be sharp. They just have to be able to stab and penetrate.
The Germans made a really neat trench knife,a real one costs 800.00 a repo is 185.00. They look like a WW1 bayonet but shorter and the hun used them to eat,cook and fight hand to hand with.
My great grandfather's bayonet from when he lived in Switzerland before WW2 looked a lot like this, my Dad still has it
The steel is amazing, years of just being on the wall and still shiny, no rust at all.
The leather on the scabbard is starting to really go sadly
But the scalloped tri-edge that comes to such a fine point would not feel much resistance going into a body that's for sure!
Funny that the Geneva Convention banned things from Switzerland too
This also comes in the "Honeycomb". Same item, only it is hidden inside a round hairbrush head. Quickly and easily deployed for use. I have purchased several of them for female friends and family members as an easy way to have a form of protection, in situations where a gun or knife isn't feasible (such as at certain workplaces).
Personally, I really see no need for a 3 or 4 edged knife. They suck for common use as a cutting edge. And If I have to stab someone, I really don't plan to do it so that they have time to go see a doctor.
