- Nitrox Stainless Steel Blade — High-carbon Nitrox steel resists corrosion, holds a working edge, and resharpens easily in the field.
- 3.38" Blade / 5.75" Closed — Compact folding profile carries easily in a pocket or on a plate carrier without sacrificing usable cutting length.
- Black Anti-Reflective Finish — Non-glare blade coating keeps the knife discreet during tactical use and adds an extra layer of corrosion protection.

Tough little folder I trustGot the tan CAC for hiking and it lives on my belt now. Nitrox blade holds an edge real well after cutting rope and opening feed bags at my buddys place. Love that its the actual french army issue model, feels bombproof with zero blade play. Corkscrew is goofy but I already used it on a bottle at a campsite so im not complaining. Only thing is the textured grip can snag a bit when youre pulling it out of a tight pocket but overall im super happy with it.
holds edge through hard use
zero play when locked open -
French military folderBeen wanting one of these for a while and finally pulled the trigger. The CAC S200 is the real issue knife for the french army and you can tell the quality is there. Blade came pretty sharp out the box, shaved some hair off my arm no problem. The tan scales look great and the locking mechanism is rock solid.
Authentic french military issue
Strong lock up with no blade playNo sheath or pouch included

My third CAC knifeBought my first one when I got into European military knives and realized the French had been quietly making solid, affordable blades for decades. Figured it'd be a niche collectible, something for the "oddities" drawer. Already had German, Italian, and British knives, didn't "need" French. Then I discovered they're also perfect for my daily rotation since I got tired of everything looking like a tactical clone, my "travel" knife since it doesn't scream "weapon" to nervous types, as trade bait with other collectors who need French items to round out displays, and honestly just having a knife that opens differently hook catch is fast once you learn it, ambidextrous for opening, just not for the hook. The tan color is distinctive. Construction is solid I've handled dozens of CAC knives over the years, these are consistent with known issue items. The Sandvik is easy to sharpen, holds an edge reasonable time, doesn't chip. Mine have been used hard, carried daily, loaned to people who invariably want one. No issues. The lock is a simple liner, reliable, easy to clean. The scales are textured polymer, not slippery. For the price of a cheap dinner out you get a knife with history and function. Some guys only want the latest supersteel flipper, but this cuts just fine.
Proven over years of actual use
Unique in a sea of samenessNow I want the black version

Quality military knife, multiple useful featuresThis is a legitimately good tactical knife for the price point. The Nitrox steel blade is reliable and the strap cutter and glass breaker are actually useful features. The thumb stud makes opening one-handed really easy and smooth.
Multiple features including strap cutter and glass breaker for versatility
Thumb stud requires practice to use smoothly and consistently

A perfect fit...A high quality execution of a carefully thought out design. It has the feel of quality that results from the use of high grade materials by skilled craftsmen with an impressive attention to detail. I did not need another knife but this one has quickly become one of my favorites.
Excellent design and construction.
I find it difficult to put down.
