Eickhorn KM 2000 BW Combat Knife Infantry Serrated Edge

Eickhorn KM 2000 BW is the official combat knife of the German Armed Forces – NATO stock number 1095-12-355-6742. It has been in use worldwide for many years by the German armed forces and other special units. Developed and manufactured in Solingen by Eickhorn Solingen GmbH, it represents the highest German knife tradition combined with military-proven functionality and extreme robustness.

The double-edged tanto blade made of high-quality Eickhorn Professional steel (corrosion-resistant, comparable to 1.4110 or Böhler N695) is coated with a black Kalgard anti-reflective coating that minimizes light reflections (important for night or commando operations) and at the same time protects against rust and wear. The partial serration (half serrated) on one side of the blade is specifically designed for cutting through belts, ropes, nets, clothing, or harness systems – ideal for rescue operations, hostage rescue, technical assistance, or tactical operations.
 

• Total length: approx. 30.2–30.3 cm
• Blade length: approx. 17.0–17.2 cm
• Blade thickness: approx. 4.7–5.0 mm (extremely resistant to bending and breaking)
• Total weight: approx. 330 g (well-balanced, but noticeably solid for powerful work)
• Handle: glass fiber-reinforced polyamide plastic with integrated hand guard (crossguard) for a secure grip even in wet, cold conditions, or when covered in blood or dirt.
• Glass breaker on the back. 
• Sheath: Robust black plastic sheath (polyamide) with integrated webbing and lanyard option. It is fully compatible with all U.S. M.O.L.L.E. systems as well as the German IDZ carrying systems of the German Armed Forces – enabling secure and quick attachment to vests, backpacks, plate carriers, or belts. The sheath allows the knife to be inserted on both sides and comes with an integrated diamond sharpening plate (hidden under Velcro fastener), which allows quick field sharpening in use without having to carry additional tools.
• Additional information: Made in Solingen – strict quality controls, durable materials for years of hard use.

Whether for foreign missions, training, special forces (KSK, KSK-M), security, crisis prevention, bushcraft with tactical requirements, or as a reliable survival and utility knife: the KM 2000 BW is a true all-rounder with a focus on combat capability, versatility, and durability. It impresses with its practical design – from the aggressive tanto shape and integrated serrated edge to the modular MOLLE/IDZ sheath solution.
