History Knife & Tool Cable Knife

History Knife & Tool Cable Knife – Historic Cable Knife with Authentic Character

The History Knife & Tool Cable Knife is a faithful reinterpretation of the classic German cable knife according to TL 5110-0011. For decades, this compact utility knife was part of the basic equipment of numerous military and civilian users. Whether for signal corps units, electricians, or DIY enthusiasts – the Cable Knife continues to impress with its simple, robust, and functional design.

With its compact overall length of 19.6 cm, a blade length of 8.5 cm, and a weight of only 90.0 g, the pocket knife is ideal for precise cutting and stripping tasks in everyday life, in the workshop, or during outdoor use.

Authentic Design Based on Historical Model

The Cable Knife is meticulously based on the historical originals that were already in military use. Particularly characteristic are the four grooves on the stainless steel bolsters and the classic shape of the slender slipjoint knife.

The integrated V-notch facilitates precise cable stripping and makes the knife a practical tool for electricians, hobbyists, and outdoor enthusiasts. It was precisely this functional peculiarity that once distinguished the military version from the civilian variant.

440A Blade for Daily Use

For modern everyday usability, History Knife & Tool relies on rust-resistant 440A steel. The low-maintenance blade steel offers good corrosion resistance and is ideal for daily cutting tasks.

With a blade thickness of 2.3 mm, the slender blade cuts controllably and precisely through cables, packaging, wood, or other materials. The extensively designed hollow grind further expands the possibilities for bushcraft and outdoor use.

Ideal for Bushcraft and Fire Steel

Due to its special blade geometry, the Cable Knife is excellent for creating sparks with pyrophoric cerium fire steels. This makes the historic cable knife also a practical companion for bushcraft, camping, and outdoor adventures.

Rosewood Handle with Classic Slipjoint Construction

The robust handle scales made of beautifully grained rosewood give the knife a traditional look and at the same time ensure a pleasant feel. Together with the solid slipjoint construction, a reliable utility knife with authentic workshop charm is created.

The Cable Knife deliberately foregoes modern locking systems, thus remaining true to the historical original. It is precisely this uncomplicated design that gives the knife its special appeal.
