HOW DEADLY IS FRENCH NAIL KNIFE?

In this video, I recreate the French Nail Knife 'Clous Français', a unique and resourceful weapon used by French soldiers during World War 1. Instead of traditional materials like rebar or crowbars, I crafted this replica from a piece of car suspension spring steel—just like soldiers who repurposed unused or unwanted materials lying around in the trenches. Discover the history behind this simple yet effective trench weapon, learn how soldiers adapted to the harsh realities of trench warfare by improvising tools and weapons, and watch as I shape and test this practical close-combat knife. This video is part of my ongoing series where I make historical weapons from scrap materials, showing how necessity drove innovation during wartime.
