Trench knife troddel ID

very cool trench knife! I would love to have one like that in my collection, never seen one with a knot on it before. Thanks for posting it. Matt

As Tim L. wrote, it´s not that uncommon to add a portepee !

I own a "DEMAG" with portepee of an machine-gun unit, wrapped around the crossguard.
