FAQ

Common questions.

What makes the M3 Trench Edition different?

The M3 Trench is styled after the iconic WWI/WWII US M3 Trench Knife — dual-edge dagger blade, contoured finger grooves on the handle, classic mid-century military aesthetic. Same Parachute gravity mechanism and materials, different blade profile and grip design.

Is the dual-edge dagger blade legal?

Dual-edge blade legality varies significantly by state and jurisdiction. Many states restrict dagger-style blades regardless of length. Check your local laws carefully before ordering.

What was the M3 Trench Knife?

The M3 was a US military fighting knife issued during WWI and WWII to airborne and elite ground units. Designed for close-quarters combat with a dual-edge dagger blade — iconic in military and historical knife collecting. The M3 Trench Edition honors that heritage.

Why M390 steel?

M390 is among the top production blade steels — exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and hardness. Holds an edge significantly longer than basic steels.

How does the magnetic lock work?

Precision-tuned magnets hold the blade in the open position with zero play. No springs, no detents, no mechanical wear over time.

What's the warranty?

Lifetime against manufacturing defects.
