About this knife

A fighter jet climbs across an AIR FORCE shield etched on the 11.7 cm black aluminium handle. Completing the Navy and Army models, it lets a retailer offer all three services side by side.

The 8.5 cm black-coated stainless steel tanto blade opens with the flipper tab and assisted opening. At the other end, the ridged grip leads to a seatbelt cutter hook and a glass-breaker point, ready for an emergency in a vehicle.

A thoughtful gift for pilots, ground crews and aviation enthusiasts. 161 g, made in Pakistan, wholesale. Fits sheath ref. 2090, sold separately.

Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

The story

Parachute hook knives and a jet on the handle

The Royal Air Force, formed on 1 April 1918, was the world's first air force independent of an army or navy, and other countries followed in the decades after. As flying grew, so did the kit carried by aircrew, including small hook knives for cutting tangled parachute lines, with the edge hidden inside a curve so it could not cut the wearer.

That hooked, recessed edge is the same idea behind the seatbelt cutter at the rear of this handle, and of any good fireman's knife today. On this model it sits beneath an AIR FORCE shield with a climbing fighter jet, etched on 11.7 cm of black aluminium, with an 8.5 cm black tanto blade ready for everyday cuts.

Display & retail

Three services, three knives, one shelf

Together with the Navy and Army models, this jet knife lets a retailer show all three services side by side, which is how veterans and their families like to shop:

Line up Navy, Army and Air Force on a single angled stand, emblems facing out, with the jet in the centre.
Time a feature for the armed forces or veterans' days observed in your market.
Offer engraving on request for unit reunions and retirement gifts.
Add a card naming pilots, ground crews and aviation enthusiasts as ideal recipients.

Many shops stocking this series also mention that the knives come from knife manufacturers in Pakistan, a detail buyers often ask about.

Questions & answers

Air Force jet knife: features and price

What makes a good knife for a firefighter?

Ask a crew and you hear the same priorities: one-hand opening, a grip that stays put in a wet glove, and a belt cutter that works without opening the blade at all. A flipper tab with assisted opening, a ridged aluminium handle and a recessed hook cover those points on this jet model, with a glass breaker at the end for vehicle work.

What is the price of the Air Force knife in Pakistan?

Look at the top of the page for the single-unit price, which shows in rupees (PKR) to visitors in Pakistan. Gift shops and veterans' associations buying a batch pay less per knife: email or WhatsApp us with the quantity.

Sharpening

Two bevels, one tanto: sharpening in sections

A tanto has two straight edges meeting at an angle near the tip, so sharpen it in two sections:

Start with the long main edge. Hold it at about 20 degrees on a medium stone and stroke from the heel to the angled transition point, then stop.
Sharpen the short front edge separately, at the same angle, working from the transition to the tip.
Keep the corner between the two edges crisp; rounding it spoils the strong tanto point.
Repeat on the other side, then finish on a fine stone or a strop.

Expect the black coating to wear back along the bevel and show bright steel; that is normal for a stainless Pakistan folding knife with a coated blade.
