Design and Materials

Key features reflect both history and function: a smooth white synthetic handle that replicates the look used in flight kits, and an as-ground high carbon machete blade that carries a heavier geometry than a typical pocket knife. High carbon steel offers edge retention and ease of sharpening—ideal for collectors who also want a usable blade. The machete profile gives the knife a distinctive cutting silhouette and preserves the original silhouette tied to mission-issued tools.

Collector Considerations

Each knife is consecutively serialized, which increases collectibility and provenance. The included twopiece presentation box protects the piece while making it display-ready—important for museums, exhibits, or home collections.

Practical Use and Carry

While primarily produced as a commemorative model, the CASE ASTRONAUT’s high carbon construction and solid handle allow for safe, practical use in controlled tasks. The machete-style blade excels at slicing and baton-like tasks that demand a stout edge. Treat the steel with standard corrosion-prevention care to maintain finish and performance.

Price is listed at $248.99, reflecting the serialized run, presentation packaging, and materials used. For availability and to confirm current stock, Check current availability.
