Honoring the Legacy of the Original Paratrooper Gravity Knife

The Parachute gravity knife was born from necessity. Originally issued to military paratroopers, it was designed as a dependable tool that could be deployed with one hand in critical moments. That history inspired the creation of the Daily Carry Co. Parachute, and now it inspires two of the most exclusive pieces we've ever produced.

This collection consists of only two custom creations:

  • One custom Parachute Pro
  • One custom SlimPry 2.0

Each has been individually customized as a tribute to the paratroopers who carried the original gravity knives and the legacy that inspired our modern design.

CRAFTING MODERN TOOLS THAT EMPOWER 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.

The gravity-operated sliding mechanism also allowed the knife to be deployed quickly and efficiently.

Unlike spring-loaded switchblades, which use a mechanical spring to push the blade out, gravity knives rely on the blade's weight and gravity to slide open.

This design was both simple and reliable in harsh conditions

This minimized 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.

The Legacy of WW2 Rigger Pouches

Originally crafted by paratroopers and riggers in the field, these pouches were born out of necessity. Soldiers needed lightweight, durable, and versatile solutions to carry critical gear such as ammunition, tools, and personal items during combat. Using spare canvas, riggers fashioned pouches that could be easily attached to belts or harnesses, embodying resourcefulness and practicality. The Rigger Pouch honors this history by embracing the same principles of adaptability and durability.
