The German and French style trench knives used during WWI are, in essence, regular knives (all be it military ones) and are therefor legal in Canada. However, those American issued trench knives that incorporate "brass knuckle" hand guards in their design are definitely illegal in Canada. Even the attempt to import one into Canada is a serious crime under the Criminal Code and will likely land you in court on charges of importation of a prohibited weapon. In order to realize how serious this can be, you should understand that as a prohibited weapon, brass knuckle trench knives fall into the same legal category as fully automatic weapons (machine guns), silencers, switch blades, and grenade launchers.
No, it goes against the "metal knuckles" law.
A trench knife is distinguished from other types of knives because a trench knife is used for close-quarter fighting. Other knives such as the combat knife is used by soldiers in the field, but is also used for fighting.

A trench knife is a specialized knife made specifically for the close quarter combat on World War 1. Most of the fighting took place in narrow trenches or on "no mans land" a trench knife, which consisted of a brass knuckle with a long blade permanently affixed to it was a handy weapon to have. The trench knife doubles as a brass knuckle and a knife; with the knife securly attached to the user's hand, the enemy could not easily take the knife from the user. In trench warfare where firing a gun while in the trench could accidentally harm a fellow soldier who happens to be behind an enemy, a knife or bayonet was a safer means to eliminate an enemy.
Not enough info to answer. Define what YOUR definition of a "trench knife" is. The military designation describes a bayone- length knife with a serrated blade, or partially serrated, and a grip consisting of brass knuckles with a skull crusher spike. THAT kind of knfe is unlwful ANYWHERE, except to collectors.
