Boker History Knife & Tool Cable Knife

For anyone who occasionally struggles with long cables, relief is at hand — at least when it comes to precise cutting and stripping. It may come as a surprise: During World War I, the Imperial Army, and during World War II, the Wehrmacht, did not issue an official standard-issue pocket knife. Instead, the Wehrmacht used a folding cable knife, primarily designed for cutting and stripping cables. This tool was indispensable for pioneers, signal units, mechanists of motorized divisions, the Kriegsmarine, and the Luftwaffe.
