The gravity knife was developed by German paratroopers in WWII — they needed a knife that could deploy with one hand when the other hand was gripping a parachute cord or pulling free of tangled gear. Gravity-assisted slide. No springs to fail. No detents to wear out.
The Parachute Gen 2 honors that heritage with modern materials and engineering. Grade 5 titanium handle. M390 blade steel. Our proprietary magnetic lock for zero blade play. Minimalist three-piece construction for easy service and long expected life.
The result is the working person's gravity knife — built like equipment, designed to be carried for decades.
