French Army Paratrooper Knife - WildSteer Tarasco

French Paratrooper Knife

The WildSteer Tarasco is a fixed-blade knife carried under the French Army name for paratroopers. It is a field knife sized for everyday work: cutting cord and webbing, opening rations, preparing kindling and handling general camp chores. It is aimed at soldiers, collectors of French kit and anyone who wants an issue-pattern belt knife with a proper sheath.

Features

• Drop-Point Blade — The spine curves gently down to the tip, which keeps the point strong and controllable for both slicing and detail work.
• Marked 56-57 HRC — The blade is stamped with its hardness on the Rockwell C scale, a range that balances edge holding against toughness and easy field sharpening.
• Satin Finish With WildSteer Etch — The plain-edge blade carries the WildSteer logo and a FRANCE marking at the ricasso.
• Ribbed Coyote Handle — Molded rings along the grip give your hand something to hold when it is wet, cold or gloved.
• Integral Single Guard — A flared guard at the front of the handle helps stop your fingers sliding forward onto the edge.
• Torx Screw Construction — Two star-head screws hold the handle to the tang.
• Exposed Pommel And Lanyard Hole — The tang shows at the butt, and a lined hole above it takes a lanyard or retention cord.
• Coyote Nylon Sheath — Heavy webbing with riveted edges, a snap retention strap over the handle and a wide belt loop.
• Adjustable Sheath Cord — A cord with a cord lock runs through grommets at the tip so you can tie the sheath down to your leg or kit.

Issue Pattern And Sheath

This is French Army kit, not a commercial lookalike, and the blade is marked FRANCE alongside its hardness rating. The coyote handle and matching sheath fit current French field equipment, and the sheath carries a tricolor badge on its face. The snap strap and tie-down cord let it ride on a belt or strap to the thigh, which is how paratroopers keep a knife secure during a jump.
