Walking whit my Victorinox GAK (M4 - German Army Knife)

[martineden]

Here we had a few snow yesterday, then a very cold but clear night, so this is the results this morning



In summa, a beautiful day (so I hope for you, mates).

I’m walking whit my GAK (German Army Knife), this is the knife actually used by the Deutschland Soldiers



On the left handle you may see the Bundeswehr Army mark


Let’s try it. The blade is serrated on the forward part, which is good to cutting down fibrous materials and plastic




The blade is also great to carve woods, whit the non-serrated part



The saw, is very efficient, I sawed this woods in less than a minute



The reamer/awl, one of the most useful tools in the woods



Some great fire-starter here around


Of course, the GAK has also the other usual tools


A nice addiction is the key-ring, so you can’t lose your knife in the woods


The GAK in hand


All in all, the GAK is the knife that I would like to own if I was still a soldier, it has all the features that I desire

It’s true, he has not a “cool” look, maybe someone (not me) call it even “ugly”, but who care, being so efficient

Ciao
