The organization of the international Air Raid 2019 exercise has been entrusted to BA 942 Captain Jean Robert of Lyon Mont Verdun. The objective of this exercise is to validate the military achievements of air force personnel but also to develop links between active personnel and members of the military reserve, to do this the regulations require that each team be composed of at least two reservists and at least one active personnel. TB Outdoor is particularly proud to have been able to contribute in its own way to the success of this beautiful event by developing this neckband, the S-NECK®, a copy of which was given to the 500 participants of these beautiful days.
Personalise your knife with a first name, a text and make your S-Neck® a unique knife!
The history of the S-Neck®
The neckband knife called "S-NECK®" has a story as we like them at TB-OUTDOOR.
In 2018, the organizers of Air-Raid contacted TB-OUTDOOR to ask us if we would be interested in creating a specific knife given to all the participants of the 2019 edition of AIR RAID taking place at the 942 Lyon Mont Verdun Air Base.
A great opportunity for our company to highlight its capacity to develop quality products for our armed forces! We also loved the AIR RAID approach and its primary goal while actively participating in the 20th anniversary of this great adventure.
What is AIR RAID?
The objective of this exercise is to validate the military achievements of air force personnel but also to develop links between active personnel and members of the military reserve, to do this the regulations require that each team be composed of at least two reservists and at least one active personnel. For the participating teams, this is not a walk in the park. For 2 sleepless days, the teams compete through about sixty workshops and a night raid around the base. Combat rescue and first aid are also on the menu for this "sporty" weekend.
For this anniversary edition, 42 teams (37 French, 2 German, 1 Belgian, 1 Canadian and 1 Swiss) set out to tackle a 36-hour raid made up of 58 events. First aid, aeronautical history, grenade throwing, NEDEX, FRG2 shooting, game hunting, water course, night walk, bear cage, escape course, implementation of transmissions... so many workshops in various disciplines soliciting all the skills and knowledge of the competitors in addition to highlighting the values of any aviator: agility, precision, mutual aid, audacity and passion.
The S-NECK® knife
S-NECK® is pronounced SNAKE, as in English. This knife is tattooed on the back and can be used perfectly as is with its Kydex sheath molded to the shape of the blade. To attach the case around the neck, you have 2 meters of Paracord available at the time of delivery, which can be cut to the desired length. This Paracord can also be used to braid the handle to make it more comfortable to use. The total length of Paracord supplied is 2 meters. This is enough to braid the handle (about 1.15m) and to go around the neck with the remaining length (85 cm).
Steel and blade edge
The knife is made of high quality stainless steel, so it is not very sensitive to corrosion. The heat treatment gives it a high degree of hardness and therefore high rigidity. The "Tanto" type edge originally used on ancestral Japanese swords for its optimal penetrating power also contributes to this rigidity. We wanted this choker to have a "look" ... We are very satisfied with the result
