Fallschirmjäger Gravity Knife

[triplecanopy]

This is a Fallschirmjäger or German Paratrooper Gravity knife. It has a stainless steel blade that is marked "ROSTFREI". Also at the butt end it has a long marlin spike for use in untying knots. I will post the side and close up views below. I always admired this design. I understand that there was also a take down version of this knife. This one is not that type.

Closed up, this was carried in a pocket for use as needed. This example is in very nice condition.

Nice looking knife, Is there waffenamt on the marlin?

[triplecanopy]

Yes, There is. I forgot about it when I was taking photos. I hope it is clear enough to make out.

Love these knives! They look so crisp and the design is so simple. (Like Heywood Wakefield furniture). Thanks for sharing the high-quality pics!

These paratrooper knives have really increased in value over the last few years. Yours is excellent. Pony.
