This replica of the original German paratrooper knife for sale from the World War II era is a new reproduction of the original German World War II paratrooper knife issued to members of the German pilot crew and paratrooper regiments during the conflict. Original German paratroopers used these knives to free themselves from entangled parachute cords in trees, aiding in their survival and combat efforts. This replica features authentic German Waffen-SS military markings on both the handle and the blade, and it boasts a polished antique brass finish over stainless steel. When closed, the knife measures 5-3/4 inches in length. The WW2 Waffen-SS Paratrooper Knife showcases a distinctive folding design that sets it apart from other knives of its time, making it a perfect addition to any German knife collection. The blade opens using a unique scissor mechanism, while the articulated and symmetrically segmented handle folds away on both sides to accommodate the longer blade tang.
