triplecanopy Posted October 31, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratasfan Posted November 5, 2018 Share #8 Posted November 5, 2018 Love these knives! They look so crisp and the design is so simple. (Like Heywood Wakefield furniture). Thanks for sharing the high-quality pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
