The Case Astronaut Knife M-1 was designed for the astronauts of Apollo 11 back in the 1960's. Now re-released in 2019, 50 years since Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon, Case has brought back this unique and collectible knife. As launch and re-entry problems were a real threat, it was necessary for the astronauts to be trained and prepared for survival scenarios. The M-1 was designed to fit that need. It features a white synthetic handle and a lanyard hole with saw teeth along the spine of the blade. Add a piece of lunar history to your collection today!
