This Trench Art knife a piece that was made by my father-in-law. The handle is a 50 cal. and the hilt is 30.06. Saving sharp!

Nice trench art-- looks like a letter opener.
Scott
Thanks Scott...Yep, it looks like that. But razor sharp. Ain't it cool some of the stuff they made with just the material they had.
Yes-- soldiers certainly exhibited some great craftsmanship in making these items.
There was a poster on the site a few months ago claiming that most trench art was manufactured by companies and not individual soldiers-- I wish your example made by your father in law was posted then!
Scott
You know Scott, you are right. There were some craftsman of impeccable talent in the war. My father-in-law was amazing. I wish you could see some of the furniture he built. He also built and restored Indian and Harley Davidson motorcycles. And made knives outta bullets.
It is unusual to find a craftsman that is adept in so many materials.
I'd love to see any of his other creations-- any way to post them.
Scott
Sure Scott...I'll put some of his stuff on here.
I look forward to seeing them!
Scott
Many thanks for the love, Jason
Trench Art is a dying craft
