This example I believe the gear was a part made specifically for clubs. But other designs were more improvised.
During the First World War all armies employed clubs for the purpose of trench raiding. This British trench club was made by sliding a special flanged metal head onto the standard entrenching tool handle. The head was designed and produced by the Royal Engineers of Second Army Workshops, from 1915 onwards. They are described in ‘Work of the RE in the European War, 1914-19’ as ‘knobkerries’.

I misread this repeatedly as ‘knockberries’ lol
man that would fucking hurt to be knocked with.
knot if they hit you in the head
no I’m pretty sure getting knocked in the head or the berries would really ruin your day.
but tell you what, we’ll let you demonstrate each tactic on your berries for the group so we can all evaluate.
i mean it wouldn’t hurt because youd be knocked out and die before you felt the pain…
you do realize a head strike doesn’t automatically knock someone unconscious, right?
yep… you do realize i was making a joke, right?
I was uncertain to a degree that made me comment :D well played.
