Suppressors AULION - 1918 U.S. Trench Knife

[Kasey]

I had a friend ask me to keep an eye out for one of these, I found one and picked it up for him at a price under his max so he was happy. But I wished I'd never wrapped my hand around the grip, it was seductively soothing and reassuring. So of course I started my own search, found one in about the same condition and paid 100.00 more for it!

I called him and offered a trade if he'd kick in 100.00 he passed! What are friends for right?! LOL

I've never had my hands on one that I could get my knuckles in to. I saw them in "The Big Red One" as a kid, loved them, I even have one, I just can't fit it in my hand.

Kasey would I be wrong in guessing you're talking about Doc and the trench knife? Just wondering because of his bag under your knife

Emilio, show if you got'em!

BOLTRIPPER, yes, in fact you do! LOL

Ghost3x7, I found a ton of copies, they all felt smaller than the originals and was one reason I really liked the feel of it, not as much material in the webbing made it fit better. Does yours have the lion laying down on the blade?

Ray, LOL, I am pleading the 5th for all the right reasons!!

Kasey, I'll see him at the end of the month and I won't say a word

. I found and gave him a Corpsman knife last year I think it was because he was looking for one. What a tank that blade is. I saw the trench knife the last time I was down at his place and it is a nice one.
