Very hard to come by RAF aircrew Victorinox in near perfect condition.
The knife is marked 'MRI GQ 1604' on the scale, 'GQ' being the british parachute maker who make the parachutes for Martin-Baker ejection seats and the supplier of the knife to the MOD. Etched on the main blade is '27C/7018504', '27C' indicates that the knife is for aircrew use. That number in the NSN registery comes up as: NSN 5110-99-701-8504, Knife, Pocket.
Tools list,
- Cap lifter
Like almost all pocket knifes it has a cap opener which has nothing really important to discuss.
- Can Opener
The same tool (cap lifter) can also be used as a can opener.
- Screwdriver
Once again, the same tool can be used as a flat-head screwdriver.
- Wire stripper
The same tool has a small notch on its bottom which can be used as a wire stripper.
- Reamer
This is on the other side of the knife. It can be used as a reamer/punch
- Corkscrew
Also something common among pocket knives.
- Wood Saw
Moving back to the front of the knife we have one of the most impressive tools this knife has. Its an extremely large wood saw. This saw has length of 9cm (3.5 inches) making it really useful compared to the small wood saw that most pocket knives have.
- Key Ring
Its always a good idea to have a key ring on any kind of utility knife. This one has the standard Victorinox inox key ring.
- Toothpick
Despite what many people think, toothpick is a tool that can be used in numerous applications except the obvious one.
- Tweezers
Once again, a handy tool that all of us have needed from time to time.
- Blade
The interesting thing about its blade apart from the high quality, is that it comes really sharp which is not something common for most pocket knives.
- Gutting Blade
This is a rare feature among pocket knives. If you are a hunter then you probably already know the importance of this tool. This blade is designed specifically for field dressing. There are only two Victorinox models offering this gutting blade, the Hunter and the Workchamp XL. You will be amazed of how sharp this blade is.
