A pantographic knife (sometimes referred to as a parachute knife) is a folding knife whose blade is opened by a scissors method (kind of like a balisong knife). The blade has a slightly longer tang than a folding knife heel. It is a German design that came around pre-WWII. ⠀ Video credit: BladeCraft Method Ludwigsburg ⠀ ⠀ . #military #militaryknife #tacticalknife #survivalknife #foldingknife #weapons #militaryweapons #engineering #blademagazine #edcknife #engineeringlife #robotics #germanmade #w
