The CAC ® is the third iteration of the “Campaign knife” that Tarrerias - Bonjean designs and manufactures for the French army. Its uncompromising design, lightness and robustness make the CAC® an exceptional knife. Much more technical and ambitious than its predecessors, the CAC® is TB's response to the request expressed by the French army, namely, to design a robust, ambidextrous knife that can be opened and closed with one hand. . To create this exceptional knife, Tarrerias - Bonjean collaborated with Philippe Perotti, formerly of the French special forces and author of dozens of books on shooting and its instruction. Its recognized experience in hand-to-hand combat has made it possible to maximize the effectiveness of the knife's use to make the CAC® the ideal companion for our troops in all theaters of operations. The CAC® locking mechanism is extremely durable and ensures flawless blade locking in the open position. |
The particularity of the CAC blade is to be made with stainless steel doped with nitrogen, Nitrox® . ( Nitrox® - creation of our GDD factory. It is a Z30 doped with nitrogen which would be similar to a Z50 DV14). This steel gives the blade a particularly high corrosion resistance capacity, especially since the blade is coated with a PVD coating which further accentuates this resistance. Cutting capacity is also a strong point of this steel which combines flexibility and high resistance.
TB has also integrated the secure blade locking mechanism by movable axis into the CAC®. This mechanism is extremely robust and ensures flawless blade locking in the open position.
The CAC® was officially selected over numerous competing products, for its performance, quality and price by the French army in 2017. Its distribution in the various army corps began at the beginning of 2018 and will widely equip our soldiers at least until 2025.
Perfectly resistant to corrosion, the blade is made of Nitrox®, the edge of which is smooth or mixed smooth + serrations. The CAC® also has a window breaker, a corkscrew and a reversible belt clip. It is a true concentrate of all the cutting-edge technologies that one can expect from an operational knife.
The handle is made up of two polymer plates loaded with glass fibers. These plates are screwed to the mechanics by stainless steel screws, one of which cleverly houses a strap cutting blade. This curved, interchangeable blade is designed to cut straps, ropes and seat belts to facilitate extraction in the event of an accident.
LE CAC® is available in Black and Fluorescent Yellow which reacts violently to UV light so that it can be found in difficult environments.
Many optional accessories are available.
You may have noticed that we offer two types of handles for our Outdoor knives. We wanted to be able to offer you two qualities of handle.
What is the G10?
G10 consists of fiberglass that is dipped in resin. After compression and hardening by baking this mixture, G10 is a light, durable and robust material. Outdoor and survival knives often offer G10 handles because of these characteristics.
G10 is a very resistant material and not very sensitive to water, cold, heat, rot or corrosion.
What is the PA6 FV
PA6 is a polyamide, i.e. a technical thermoplastic. We have selected a PA6 FV for our collection of Outdoor knives, meaning it is loaded with fiberglass. Integrating fiberglass into polyamide makes it possible to form a three-dimensional network of the skeleton of the part. The technical properties of PA6 FV are very similar to those of metals in terms of deformation, creep characteristics and energy absorption.
