Trench Knife

The trench knife icon represents a type of knife used by soldiers during World War I for close combat in trenches. This knife was designed for fighting in tight spaces and symbolizes the intense and personal nature of trench warfare.

In real-world applications, this icon may appear in historical software, educational platforms, or games that depict World War I. For example, it could be used in a game like 'Call of Duty' or a historical simulation game.

From a UX perspective, the trench knife icon communicates a sense of intimacy and danger, conveying the risks associated with close combat. It helps users understand the functionality of a button or feature related to military actions or close combat.

Trench Knife is one of 4,123 icons in Game Icons, made by GameIcons and released under CC BY 3.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds TrenchKnifeIcon to components/icons/game-icons-trench-knife.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed TrenchKnifeIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Trench Knife icon, or any of 4,123 Game Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Trench Knife", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TrenchKnifeIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TrenchKnifeIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 3.0 asks you to credit the author (GameIcons) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 3.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by GameIcons, CC BY 3.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are game, thematic, history, military, warfare and knife. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Trench Knife in another set.
