Since the original James Bond carried a .25 auto, and then later he jumped up to a whopping .32 auto….

I will give him this, civivi rustic gent pocket knife

I think the PPK is 380. weak by todays standards but the ballistic equivalent of the 38 speciial which was carried by cops for decades.

I would not give him a knife, since he used a Gerber Mark I as a screwdriver. If he can't use the proper tools, he should not have them.

 

[Bob Denman]

Q would probably give him one that has a "jet pack" blade anyway...

Ian Fleming carried a Berretta 418 that was .25ACP during his service in WW2, so thats what Bond originally carried in the first 5 stories. In Dr No, the sixth novel, he was issued a 7.65ACP Walther PPK after the Berretta nearly got him killed in From Russia with Love.
The movie chronology is different because they weren't made in the same order as the novels were written.

Well.. wouldn't you want to die for Daniela Bianchi?

I was aware it was initially the beretta .25 but i thought he went to a 380 ppk after that. thanks for the correction. Did he at some point have a .380?

I think in the movie Skyfall he used a 9mm PPK/S. However, the books are often quite different from the movies.

The Berretta 418, the Colt 1908 vest pocket .25, and the Walther model 2 and 5 were very popular with both the Allied and Axis intelligence agencies. The Colt 1908 was used by both he American O.S.S.and British S.O.E.

The largest mass murderer in history, Vasily Blokhin, used the Walther .25 to execute 7,000 Polish Officers in 28 days in the Katyan Forest Massacre.

A Bud Nealy Pesh Kabz with a 3.25 blade. Its functionality for the intended purpose, its slim body, clean lines and simple beauty would appeal to Bond. A custom built Perrin- Emerson black LeGriffe knife with a 2” serrated curved blade. It would be carried in a custom Kydex sheath leaving open the forefinger hole and fitted with a SS garter clip, to be carried as chosen , eg pinned to his BVDs. It’s a last ditch game changer!

Something classy and light weight
