Windlass WWI M1916 “Avenger” Dagger French Fighting

Inspired by a widely used historical blade design, this double-edged dagger saw service in numerous 19th- and 20th-century conflicts, including both World Wars. It became known as “Le Vengeur de 1870” (“The Avenger of 1870”), a name reflecting France’s defeat in the Franco-Prussian War.

This replica is based on an authentic period blade and is crafted from 1065 high carbon steel with a diamond cross-section optimized for deep, precise penetration. The hardwood handle is left in its natural finish for a secure, comfortable grip. A leather sheath is included for safe storage. Suitable for cutting practice, bushcraft, and survival use.
