This Knife is NEW in box.
German Military Paratrooper Search & Rescue Gravity Knife. Type 4 Flieger Kapp Messer
This is a genuine German pilot and paratrooper gravity knife that was issued to the German Armed Forces about 25 years ago.
The knife has an olive-drab handle and black metal parts with the exception of the spike and blade. The handle is marked BUND. The blade is marked OWF. This knife also has a marlin spike designed to wedge knots apart.
Take-down version. Blade falls out of the handle (gravity drop) and locks with lever.
By flipping the trigger away from the knife and depressing it, the blade can be extended with a flick of the wrist.
By holding the knife blade-up and depressing the trigger a second time, the blade slides back in the handle. The blade measures approx. 4"
The overall length of the knife open is 10”
Closed is approx. 6".
With spike and lace.
The marlin spike is approx. 3.5".
Post- WWII German Military issue.
Very collectible. Asking $65.00 Shipped.
