CAC French Army knife
Reference : AR00994
The CAC® is the third iteration of the "Campaign knife" that Tarrerias-Bonjean designs and manufactures for the French army. Its uncompromising design, lightness and robustness make the CAC® an exceptional knife.
The particularity of the CAC blade is that it is made with a stainless steel doped with nitrogen, Nitrox®. (Nitrox® - creation of our GDD factory. This is a nitrogen doped Z30 which would resemble a Z50 DV14). This steel gives the blade a particularly high corrosion resistance capacity, especially since the blade is coated with a PVD coating which further accentuates this resistance. The cutting capacity is also a strong point of this steel which combines flexibility and high resistance.
Much more technical and ambitious than its predecessors, the CAC® is TB's response to the demand expressed by the French army, namely, to design a robust, ambidextrous knife with one-handed opening and closing.
To create this exceptional knife, Tarrerias-Bonjean collaborated with a former special forces expert and expert in handling firearms and bladed weapons. His proven experience has maximized the efficiency of knife use to make the CAC® the ideal companion for our troops in all theaters of operations. By extension, the CAC® will be your companion in all your Outdoor activities.
TB also wanted to collaborate with the American manufacturer Benchmade® to integrate the secure locking mechanism of the blade by mobile axis into the CAC®. This mechanism is extremely robust and ensures a flawless blade locking in the open position.
The CAC® was officially selected against many competing products, for its performance, its quality and its price by the French army in 2017. Its distribution in the various army corps began in early 2018 and will largely equip our soldiers. at least until 2022.
Perfectly resistant to corrosion, the blade is made of Nitrox®, the edge of which is smooth or mixed smooth + serrations. The CAC® also has a window breaker, a corkscrew and a reversible belt clip. It is a true concentrate of all the advanced technologies that one would expect from an operational knife.
The handle is made of two plates in polymer filled with glass fibers. These plates are screwed to the mechanism by stainless steel screws, one of which cleverly houses a strap cutting blade. This curved and interchangeable blade is designed to cut straps, ropes and seat belts to aid extraction in the event of an accident.
The CAC® is delivered in a very nice technical box.
