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.The cable knife proved to be simple, durable, and versatile, reliably fulfilling the many routine and often unspectacular tasks of a soldier's daily life.
