Grab Some History and Purchase Original WWII German Edged Weapons

The Germans used a wide variety of edged weapons in the battles and skirmishes that took place during WWII.

Understanding some of the design elements of these WWII German knives or daggers on eBay can help you find pieces that fit your needs.

Yes, you can find decorative edged weapons from Germany's WWII battles. Although most WWII German knives on eBay were designed with only function in mind, some of the weapons you will see had ceremonial purposes attached to them. In many cases, these kinds of weapons took the form of a sword. The sword was awarded to military officers as a token of their rank or a small gift for their performance in a particular skirmish. Although they are decorative symbols of office, some of the German swords you can find on eBay are also functional pieces that you can add to your collection.

WWII German knives on eBay can include various accessories that may change from one model to the next. Here are just a few of the types of things you can expect to find during your search for German edged weapons from that era:

• Sheaths - A sheath or scabbard will hold your German knife or sword securely and keep it from cutting you if you wear it. Should you plan to pick up a WWII German dagger or machete to use as a tool, you may want to purchase the case for it as well.
• Frogs - A frog is also meant to hold your German edged weapon, but it does so in ways that are slightly different from a traditional sheath. The frog is a connecting piece between your belt and the main part of a scabbard. However, you can also purchase a frog that leaves the length of blade exposed.

In addition to swords and traditional combat knives, there are a few other types of edged weapons you should come across on eBay:

• Boot knife - New and secondhand WWII German knives that have the boot design usually feature a slimmer profile than average and a narrow blade for tucking inside your boot discreetly.
• Machete - Some German weapons were intended for chopping brush and taking care of camp activities rather than combat.
