US Model 1873 Entrenching Tool
|
| US Model 1873 Entrenching Tool; this tool/knife was adopted in 1873 and was mainly an entrenching tool (rather than a knife). It was used on the plains during the Indian Wars. It was a very light flat-bladed tool and was short-lived; it evolved into the heavier US Model 1880/1890. |
