mc-1
a us military aircrew survival knife usually blaze orange in color that has a single side opening switch-activated blade propelled by means of a bar spring. opposite this is a hook sharpened to cut the shroud lines of a parachute (looks somewhat like a large popcketknife can opener). sometimes the automatic function is reversed to the hook to comply with local laws regarding switch blade knives or user prefernce. was made in quant-ty by schrade/walden, camilus and others from the 1950’s to the early 1990’s.
handle is synthetic stag. an updated model, with a stronger coil spring less pr-ne to fatigue and able to be easily disasembled with a hex wrench has superceded the earlier rivited design although the former is still commonly available. it resembles a large conventional pocket knife.
although e-bay does not permit the sale of switch blade knives, a search for mc-1 will reveal the futility of such a rule.
