The mark II hand grenade was born out of the failure of the mark I grenade during the First World War. The Mark II was adopted for service during 1918 and was manufactured of cast iron with a grooved surface divided into 40 knobs in 5 rows of 8 columns. This was intended to enhance fragmentation (in practice, it was found that the grooves did not enhance fragmentation as much as desired) and provide a better grip when handling and throwing the grenade.
