October 31, 20187 yr #1 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.

November 1, 20187 yr Author #5 Yes, There is. I forgot about it when I was taking photos. I hope it is clear enough to make out.
November 1, 20187 yr #6 Very nice example, she is a real beauty. I hope you add the take down model to your collection. Tony
November 5, 20187 yr #8 Love these knives! They look so crisp and the design is so simple. (Like Heywood Wakefield furniture). Thanks for sharing the high-quality pics!
