The history of the C.A.C. ®
This knife is our company's response to the request expressed by the French army through very precise specifications: to design a robust, ambidextrous country knife whose opening and closing are done with one hand.
The C.A.C®, or Combat Assistance Campagne, is the result of a collaboration between TB Outdoor and Philippe Perotti, a former member of the French special forces.
The C.A.C®. was officially selected by the French army in 2016, ahead of many competing products for its performance, robustness, uncompromising manufacturing quality, and price.
Since 2018, the C.A.C®. has been widely deployed among our military forces and contributes to their security on a daily basis.
The CAC ® is the third iteration of the "Field Knife" that Tarrerias-Bonjean designs and manufactures for the French army. Its uncompromising design, lightness and robustness make the CAC® an exceptional knife. Much more technical and ambitious than its predecessors, the CAC® is TB's response to the request expressed by the French army, namely to design a robust, ambidextrous knife whose opening and closing are done with one hand. To create this exceptional knife, TB collaborated with Philippe Perotti, a former French special forces officer and author of a dozen books on shooting and its instruction. His recognized experience in hand-to-hand combat has made it possible to maximize the effectiveness of the use of the knife to make the CAC® the ideal companion for our troops in all theaters of operations. The CAC's® locking mechanism is extremely durable and ensures a flawless blade lock in the open position. The particularity of the CAC blade is that it is made with nitrogen-doped stainless steel, Nitrox®. Our production site and our engineers have actively participated in the production tests of this specially formulated steel. A nitrogen-doped stainless steel during its manufacture to replace part of the carbon. This steel gives the blade a particularly high corrosion resistance capacity, especially since the blade is coated with a PVD coating which further accentuates this resistance.
