Other
Mark I Trench Knife
Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) carries a 1918 Mark I Trench Knife in his left boot. The writers are doing a little bit of homework on this series as when Jimmy is asked what the point on the top of the handle is he says it's a skull crusher and is used for "cracking walnuts", which is what it is arguably more useful for -- Why would you want to try and crush a man's skull when you can stab him with 6 inches of steel.
