Trench knife made from something old

This came in an auction lot with others. Never really paid it much attention until I noticed the marks on the "blade".
I am guessing it is a home made trench knife. The question is, what did someone ruin to make it ?
The remains of the blade are allmost square in cross-section. length is 26cm ( 10 1/2 ") with a 13 cm ( 5.25 " ) "blade.
the pommel is brass and may be original. The cross-guard is brass and not original.

All comments welcome.
regards
Roy
