Apparently the contracted L.F.&C. made knives never made it overseas in time for WWI but were issued out in post war and into WWII.
The French contracted Au Lion mfg were the only ones issued in WWI, Ray

Nothing, they were issued during both conflicts though they were made late during WW1 and few made it to the Front so there were plenty for issue in 1941.
Matter of fact, they were a prized item in WW2 by many.
Yes they were, even though a little clumsy in actual use. And good post above by Rayg, sorry Ray, I missed your post when I replied.
