Nimbus Operativo

NIMBUS has been ordered and adopted by the renowned 183rd Regiment Nembo (Airborne) by rewieving the 39-09 well known model.

This knife celebrates the battle of Case Grizzano which took place on 19th April 1945 between the paratroopers of Nembo and the German 1^ Division Fallschirmjäger “Green Devils”, a 12 hours extremely cruel and bloody hand-to-hand blade skirmish.

Notwithstanding the WWII was going to the end in few days and one third of paratroopers fell on the battlefield, Nembo won this fierce battle. NIMBUS is much more than an event celebrating model, the knife has been developed on the technical point of view to be actually used for the purposes of a modern combat operator.

Particular care has been spent on the technical characteristics as dimensions, shape and kydex sheath to be carried in such different tactical ways.

The tactical blade is light and compact for an easy use by a skilled operator.
