West German(Bundeswehr) 1956 Paratrooper Gravity knife.
This and the other 2 gravity knifes are all from an old friend in Germany who served as a paratrooper in Bundeswehr.
Maker marked with WKC and their logo, manufactured 1960.
WKC stands for Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Cie.
Bundeswehr eagle on the handle.
Since this knife was only used for 7 years it's now quite hard to find, especially since it's forbidden in German. We can't find a single one for sale.
Excelleny condition. Works perfect. Very nice clean blade.
In the 1963 pattern gravity knife replaced the 1956 pattern gravity knife and was in fact a copy of the German WWII gravity knife, 2nd pattern, (take down).
