The British Army Folding Clasp Knife is a standard-issue utility tool historically supplied to British military personnel. Featuring a robust stainless steel blade and a folding mechanism, this knife is designed for general field use, including tasks such as cutting rope, preparing food, and equipment maintenance. The handle is typically constructed from durable, easy-to-grip materials, often with metal bolsters for added strength. Many examples also include a marlin spike, intended for use in ropework or untying knots, making the knife particularly useful for naval or engineering contexts. The knife often features a lanyard ring for secure attachment to uniforms or equipment. Introduced in various patterns over the years, this versatile tool has seen widespread use across multiple branches of the British Armed Forces from the mid-20th century onwards. Its practical construction and utilitarian design reflect the needs of military service and the requirements of field operations.
