Comme tous les produits de la marque, un couteau robuste, bien réalisé et bien fini.
Très bien. Parfaitement adapté au couteau.
bon couteau, le plastique et l'acier en l'air de meilleurs qualité que celui que j'avais avant
J'ai connu cette marque suite à un cadeau d'un ami, d'un C.A.C. armée française. J'ai donc fait l'acquisition d'un autre C.A.C. noir, accompagné d'une lame stonewashed qui lui donne un look très puissant et robuste. J'adore.!
Impressionnant couteau dont la qualité transpire du manche à la pointe de la lame.

FAQ
Are TB-Outdoor knives made in France?
Yes. TB-Outdoor knives are designed and manufactured in the TB group's workshops near Thiers (Puy-de-Dôme), from raw steel to the finished knife. TB has been a cutler in the Thiers region since 1648.
Which TB-Outdoor knife is issued to the French army?
The C.A.C.® (Combat Assistance Campagne) has been part of the French Army's standard issue since 2018. It succeeded the Bivouac®, provided starting in 1996, and then the Baroudeur®, adopted in 2001. TB-Outdoor also produces official editions for the French Foreign Legion and the French Navy.
What is the difference between the C.A.C.® and the Bivouac®?
The Bivouac® (starting at €27) is a lightweight folding knife, designed as an all-in-one tool for camping. The C.A.C.® (starting at €109) is more robust: it is ambidextrous, opens and closes with one hand, and includes a strap cutter. For light hiking, the Bivouac® is sufficient; for intensive or professional use, the C.A.C.® is more suitable.
Is it legal to carry a folding knife in France?
In France, carrying or transporting a knife is prohibited without a legitimate reason, regardless of the blade length. Hiking, camping, fishing, or professional activities may constitute a legitimate reason. The sale of knives to minors is prohibited. Learn more about the regulations
