WWII German Machine Gunner “Werkzeugmesser” Utility Tool Trench Knife

The blade of the knife shows typical runner marks, some dark spots, and surface grime, but remains generally bright. The ricasso is marked with the letter “S”. The wood grip plates are retained with flat brass rivets, and the wood plates show age but they are without chips or cracks. Inset into the grip are multiple tools, including a corkscrew, bottle opener, screw driver, and a small knife blade. The Germans designated this weapon as the “Werkzeugmesser”, or “Tool Knife”. The black scabbard paint is largely intact, while the scabbard is lacking the metal belt loop. Overall very good to excellent condition.
