Product Description

Robert Hoover was stationed in Casablanca during World War II and assigned to the Spitfire 52d Fighter Group. In 1944, Bob’s Spitfire was shot down by a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 over the Mediterranean. Hoover was captured and spent 16 months in the Stalag Luft 1 prison in Barth, Germany. During a staged fight, Hoover was able to escape from the prison camp, steal an FW 190— which he had never flown— and flew to safety in Holland.

The Robert Hoover Damascus Steel Folding Knife is named for him in honor of his incredible and adventurous life. It's been created in the laguiole style, with a 1095 and 15n20 Damascus steel blade. A bee adorns the backspring, which sits over the rotating part of the blade, and keeps the blade firmly closed or “locked” open when in use. Make sure you watch your fingers when closing the knife as the backspring is very tight.
