Democratic Republic of Germany - Paratrooper Knife
Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.
Issued by the DDR's Fallschirmjäger during the Communist era. The common term in the collecting community for this knife I have pictured is "shroud cutting knife". The scalloped sides are razor sharp, but the head it is blunted so you can push it under your harness without stabbing yourself. Both sides are identical. No markings, anywhere. I haven't found any pictures of it being worn, but I would imagine that the East Germans laced it onto themselves in a temporary manner, just for the jump.
