The Keris is a dagger with Malay origins, but the Ottomans used it during the Trench Warfare due to it's excellent stabbing ability compared to the Bowie Knife. Although it may look odd, but the Keris is excellent for piercing through the skin of enemies and when pulled out, will also cause more bleeding to the foe, making him bleed to death on the inside

wow nice work bro
I considered making a knuckleduster trench knife, but decided against it, since that was a French creation. @Supermini555 @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Supermini555 heuehueu daggers!
In close quarters, it's more of a hassle to use swords, daggers are easier to use and more effective in the trenches, while swords in the battlefield @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario hmm
However, things like knives, clubs, and spades were more common. Cheaper, simpler, easier to use, and just as effective.
Swords were quite long, and that may impair its use in a trench. Clubs, entrenching spades, and knives are far more compact. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario Swords were used quite well actually in WWI since it mainly CQC like. 70% of the time
@Supermini555
I also think many soldiers will use improvised daggers as well.
I shall make that. @Supermini555
Yeah, perfect for Close Quarters Combat [CQC, MGS Term] @Pilotmario
I believe that the Ottoman Empire also used the Kilji in Battlefield I @Pilotmario
Yes. Why kill them with a rifle and spend many Deutschmarks on ammunition when you can use sword? @Supermini555
Oh, the Mamluk Sword! @Pilotmario
@Supermini555 Sorry. Meant Mameluke sword.
Never heard of it @Pilotmario
Holy shit this thing would pain alot 😂
Ouch.
Can you make a Malmenuke Sabre? @Supermini555
@Pilotmario @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation this is one of the main daggers of the Ottoman Empire
