TFS-Pilot

Military pilots specifically wear survival vests in the event that they have to make a forced landing (otherwise known as a crash landing).  For years the standard has been a five-inch fixed blade with a few saw teeth on the back.  No consideration was given to the multitude of uses that knife might face in the process of keeping the pilot alive.  That necessary versatility was designed into the TFS Pilot to more properly support those downed pilots.  It’s ready to do everything from cutting them out of web harnesses to cleaning game to cutting fire wood.  This is what a compact survival tool should be.

This tool is composed of a central body with a function of handle and of seat of three folding blades hinged at its ends. The primary blade, beak-shaped, opens like shears of 55 degrees while showing a second blade fixed on the central body with whom it forms a V upside down. The spring-opening takes place trough the pressure on a push-button jutting out on a side of the central body. Its function consists in selecting and shearing ropes and belts in tension. The knife blade, less specialized, turns the tool into a folder of general use. The opening of this blade is effected by keeping the pin fixed on the blade with the thumb and making it rotate on the outside until it is stopped by the block that prevents its closing if the lever encased on the back of the tool is not pressed. Also this opening can be effected by one hand. The third blade, serrated, is an efficacious wood-saw. The tool is also supplied, at the opposite end of the cable cutter beak, with a hardened steel taper pin turning the TFS into a crystal-breaker hammer. The black color reduces the risk of location by the enemy forces. The nylon handles are self extinguishing and provide an efficacious thermal insulation helpful for use in extreme climates.
