If there was one common misconception about the French that we would like to dispel it's that they like to surrender. The French Foreign Legion would like to know your location. Just look up the Battle of Camerón. And while we didn’t get in any wooden hands with this shipment of French Paratrooper Knives, rest assured that that the spirit of the Foreign Legion is imbued within this knife.
Featuring a unique hooked blade that retracts into the handle of the knife, its design is intended for cutting parachute cord. Hopefully you won’t have to drop into Điện Biên Phủ any time soon. Great for open boxes, MRE’s and slicing through rope, this handy little knife is a perfect addition to your kit.
Specs
French Parachutist Hook Knife
Bought the knife mostly because it looked but surprisingly works great for opening letters and boxes. Especially if you tend to put a regular too deep into boxes, accidentally cutting the product inside. With the hook, you'll basically never damage whatever is inside a box
I didn’t “need” this but saw great utility in this design. Not to mention the history of this knife is pretty cool.
This is light weight but the materials used feel solid.
The locking knob feels secure when exposing the blade fully or partially. A cool addition to any knife collection yet fully functional. I highly recommend this.
Can't do mathematics, but I sure can skin a deer. Nifty knife for that.
Cool knife
…Now that’s a knife
