Made a pair of these as presentations for a couple of veterans being honored in a local organization. They are forged replicas of the legendary WWI "Clous Francais" (French Nail). Blades are 9" (OAL 15.5") with leather wrapped handle and leather scabbard. Plaque to be engraved later. They were forged from some spikes I had in my scrap pile (same as one shown in pic).
Lot of history to these trench warfare nail knives if you look it up.
