5 Legendary Edged Weapons Used in World War II

Written By: nsdapadmin Published In: Created Date: 22 Nov 2018 Hits: 565 Comment: 0

People who were not born during the period of the world war 2 or the people who were not old enough to understand things that happened during the war may think weapons used to fight the war were guns, tanks, bombs and the likes; it is highly likely that a lot of people do not know that edged weapons were also part of the weapons used. 

Edged weapons are useful in close combat to thrust, stab, slash and hack. They were also important weapons during the World War II. 

Below are five legendary edged weapons used in the World War II:

1. Knife

Some examples of knives used for combat in world war are: 

•  Mark 1: This is a 5 to 5.25-inch flat ground blade in different varieties. It was adopted by the Navy.

•  Mark 2: It has a 7-inch long blade. This knife was made available to combat soldiers in 1943.

•  Mark 3: Designed in 1943 due to steel shortage, the mark 3 had a thinner 6.75 blade.

•  225-Q: This knife had one of the strongest blades of all World War 2 combat knives.

• Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Knife: This is fighting knife preferred by the British and American soldiers during the World War 2.

•  Marine Combat Knife

•  Kukri Knife

•  Bolo Knife

•  World War 2 V-42 Elite Special Forces Knife  

2. Bayonet

The bayonet was used by the Japanese, British and Soviet Forces; however, it was more important to the Japanese. 

Some Examples are:

•  Italian Carcano Folding Bayonet

•  US M1 Bayonet

3. Sword

You have probably heard of the tale of Jack Churchill, aka Mad Jack who fought in the World War 2 with bow and arrows and a sword.  Like the Bayonet, swords were mostly used by the Japanese during the World War 2. 

4. Machete

Example

•  Kukri Machete

5. Dagger

A dagger is a knife with a very sharp point and one or two sharp edges. It is designed for stabbing or thrusting.

Some Examples are:

•  German 1935 Army Officer Dagger

•  German DRK Officer Dagger

•  German SA Dagger

•  German Teno Hewer Dagger

•  Rad German Hewer Dagger

•  SA WW2 Service Dagger

•  Hanwei V-42 Dagger
