    Knife of the Day: Case Astronaut Survival Knife

    By H. Clay Aalders July 22, 2019July 29, 2019

    We don’t often put a “Knife of the Day” above the fold, that is more typical newsfeed fodder. But when we do it is because it is the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Landing, and because the knife is the Case Astronaut survival knife.

    Knife Magazine Military Editor Frank Trzaska wrote a great piece for the March 2019 print issue. We have brought it out as a standalone article on the free side of the site, but Premium Online Members can see the whole issue in “The Vault —> Magazine Archives” or by clicking the link.

    US Moon Knife – March 2019

     

    Knife Magazine Staff Corespondent Roger Eckstine took the photos below on a recent visit to the USS Hornet, the aircraft carrier which picked the Apollo 11 Astronauts up upon splashdown.

      That ain’t gonna kill no aliens! 😉 Sorry, couldn’t resist. Really good article on something I didn’t know they made room for in the capsule.
