The Aviator is an American combatknife manufactured by Chris Reeve and based upon the Camillus Pilot Survival Knife, but constructed of a single piece of steel for strength, although the baresteel handle is a problem in cold climates. The blade is a 4 inch long clip point with a saw back, bevel-ground with a false clip edge.
The Camillus Pilot Survival Knife is an American knife carried by USAF aircrew for survival use. The Camillus Pilot Survival Knife is based on the Marine Combat fighting knife (Kabar) but is smaller and lighter for easier carrying. The blade is a 5 1/8 inch long Bowie type with a saw back, made of carbonsteel protected with a black phosphate finish. The blade edge is bevel-ground with a false clip edge.
