CASE XX USA NASA 1958-1983 commemo ASTRONAUT KNIFE, COA, display mount, orig box Click images to enlarge Description Scarce W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. limited edition commemorative issue of the famous M1 Astronaut Knife. Starting in 1958, CASE made a Model 1 Astronaut Survival Knife for NASA moon-landing Apolo Program. Over time, M-1 knives were flown on all of NASA's Apollo, Gemini, Skylab, and ASTP missions. One of these "Apolo mission knives" is actually on display in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC, in addition to several other museums around the country. The M-1 is a giant survival knife that resembles a machete, except for the very aggressive saw teeth on the spine and a special super-light opaque polypropylene handle scales - this type of plastic does not give off fumes. Also, the lower edge near the handle is blunt, so an astronaut would have less of a chance of cutting the spacesuit's glove.
