Powerful Tools for the Modern Warrior

Gravity knives were originally designed as a practical tool, primarily for military purposes. Developed during World War lI by German paratroopers, the unique sliding blade mechanism allowed soldiers to operate the knife with one hand, which was crucial if they needed to cut themselves free from parachute cords or other gear while using their other hand for stability or balance.

This design was both simple and reliable in harsh conditions, minimizing the need for complex parts that could jam or break in the field. Over time, gravity knives became more widely available, though they remain a specialty tool with specific use cases, especially where one-handed operation is essential.
