Product details
Product description

What can you trust anymore when the Swiss army knife is actually the German army knife? And in olive green. If you prefer a simple SAK type folder instead of modern multipliers and want something more subdued than red handle plates, this might fit the bill.

The manufacturer may vary. In some cases, you'll see known brands like Victorinox, but we haven't sorted these by all the various contractors. These were all issued by Bundeswehr so they're good.

  • Knife 75 mm (3")
  • Saw 60 mm (2.4")
  • Bottle opener
  • Cork screw
  • Flathead screwdriver
  • Awl
  • Lanyard cord hole
  • Length when closed 107 mm (c. 4.2") , the width 25 mm (1"), thickness 15 mm (0.6")

Features

Bundeswehr has in their great wisdom defined the needs of the German soldier and developed the perfect tool for them. This knife has four foldable tools, one of which features three separate tools. They don’t have a locking mechanism but they are not flimsy. With just the basic features, this one isn’t too bulky when carried and is nice to handle.

When looking at these tools, it seems that the everyday tasks of German soldiers include beer and wine drinking in addition to whittling, sawing, screwing, and repairing leather gear. This makes these knives quite handy in civilian use as well.

All the metal parts are made of stainless steel, the handles of durable olive green plastic.

German Army Surplus

These knives are used but all in perfectly usable condition. The tools might require some cleaning and oiling, and the knife some sharpening.

I received this knife 2 days ago. It was well used with some dings and scratches on the plastic handle and some scratches on the blade. There was a small chip in the blade, along with tape residue from when the last owner was opening boxes. It cleaned up well and I ground out the chip. The blade sharpens up nicely. The saw came with a guard - I've never seen that before - it is a great safety feature. This will now be my every day carry knife. You can't beat the price for a BW version of a Swiss army knife.

20 bucks for a Victorinox. Sure, it needed a good sharpening, but who cares? I can sharpen a knife. Best price I've seen on these in years to boot. Grab one while the moomins in Helsinki still have them.

I had one of these in the 1980’s when I was a kid, now I have one again! Not perfect condition, but then you are buying a used knife. With bit of a scrub with soap and water and an oil they really can turn out nice, and you have yourself a classic GAK :-)
