I would like to note that during WW1 the Troddle (fringed knot) & the Portepee (closed knot) were worn on privately purchased Stag horn & wood handle civilian daggers.

Here is a link to a Russian site with WW1 period German Army photos of the Troddle (fringed knot) and the Portepee (closed knot) worn on these daggers. https://xn--80aaxgqbdi.xn--p1ai/publ/1/nemeckie_boevye_nozhi_1914_1945/8-1-0-861
