French “Venguer” M1916 Fighting Knife

[@g-dlr]

Thank you for this video. As an European it is easier to collect bayonets/knives then it is to collect historic firearms. So that's why I collect edged items. So it is nice to see an American channel also giving these items some love and attention.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Mr McCollum has a lot to answer for, he definitely inspired my interest in French surplus as well

Enjoying your channel Thomas . Thanks for all your efforts! Today is ANZAC DAY here in Australia. Equal to your Veterans Day there . God Bless all our veterans.

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

Glad you’re enjoying it! The world would be very different today without the efforts of ANZAC forces, really hoping to get my hands on something they may have used in either WWI or WWII soon

Amen to that

it's "vengeur" not "venguer" in the youtube video name, it's full name was "Le vengeur de 1870", meaning "the avenger of 1870", 1870 being the franco-prussian war wich was a defeat for france and took away alsace-lorraine

Very cool video. This dagger is rare also here in Europe. Prices are about 300 to 500 Euro. The Wehrmacht captured a numer of them, and used it as "Dolch 116 (f)" . f stands for Frankreich. After the war a large number poped up in Norway. Greetings from Austria.

Thank you kindly!

[@tighay8693]

it's always interesting if you can make a new video about the Polish radom vis 35 and you have short videos shoot longer, if possible at long distances to show how the weapon shoots, how accurate it is

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

As soon as I get one I’ll definitely be doing a video on it 👍🏻 I’ve wanted one since I got into this hobby but I haven’t been able to find one for a good price yet

[@darrinrentruc6614]

The price on them has shot up the past decade, If you can find one made before German occupation of Poland for under 2500 buy it.

hi im norwegian and i have one of these in mint condition (no scabbard though)

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

Very cool, they are fascinating knives

[@niklas2378]

@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry dont think they are very difficult to come by.. its just about price...

@@GreatNorthwestWeaponry sold a well-used one some years ago for about 100 euro

More daggers!

[@GreatNorthwestWeaponry]

There will definitely be more 👍🏻 thanks for watching!

[@MrJerry160]

Stabbing someone to death is so personal, definitely a way to get very unpleasurable memories that may haunt you, but you can bet your ass id use one to stay alive

[@tighay8693]

sorry but this is my advice to you subscriber of your channel
