Wartech WWII M3 Bayonet, 12.5

The M3 fighting knife, also known as the M3 trench knife, was first introduced to the American military in March 1943. Initially intended for soldiers who did not have a bayonet, the M3 was specifically designed for elite and 'shock' forces that required a close-combat knife, such as airborne troops and Army Rangers. These specialized units were given priority for receiving the M3 when production began.

As more M3 knives became available in 1943 and 1944, they were also issued to other soldiers, including Army Air Corps crewmen and those who were not equipped with a bayonet but carried weapons like the M1 Carbine or submachine gun.

Additionally, the country of origin for this particular knife is China. The model number is H-4712, and the item package dimensions measure 14.0" in length, 3.0" in width, and 0.75" in height. The weight of the item package is 2.0 lb.
