Talk:Trench knife

Moved from article
Please note: trench knives are specialized fighting knives and are not synonymous with brass knuckles - although some famous designs incorporate them, and thus these weapons deserve a page of their own.

¿Says WHO "Exactly"?
The "citation" used to justify the claim "However, as common sense and knife experts agree, using a stabbing/cutting weapon as a bludgeon is very ineffective, an improper and pointless practice contrary to the best usage of the weapon." is a website that sells knives (and thus has a vested intrest in telling the "facts" that best effect their OWN bottom line), and the specifc URL says nothing of the sort at any rate (it's a blank page); Further, "common sense" (aka "original research") is (supposedly) not what Wikipedias is based on, but verifiable fact, and NO knife expert has ever stated that using the pommel of a knife, sword, etc as a weap in it's own right is a "pointless practice contrary to the best usage of the weapon," especially in a specialty weap suckh as the M-1 knife. This whole article demands a full review for accuracy, nuetrality, and pure integrity; It should be locked, deleted outright, and fully rre-written, this time by somebody who actually DOES know what they're talking about, rather than any idiot that walks in the door.174.25.4.28 (talk) 03:41, 12 February 2011 (UTC)A REDDSON


 * Agreed. Should the blade be broken or damaged in some way as to become non-functional, the trench knife could still continue to function as a weapon whereas a more conventional form of knife would be rendered useless. I have noted this in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.176.255.64 (talk) 08:15, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Garbage removed
I've just removed the text "LASBVN AFS" from one of the headings. This was put there six years ago by someone at 67.185.237.88. In all that time, no-one had bothered to wonder what the heck it meant... (nothing at all AFAICT, in case you're wondering) Snori (talk) 05:22, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
