German Army 4-Piece Cutlery Set
Good used condition. Fully functional and field-ready, with light wear and typical service markings.
Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
Original German Army eating utensils issued to the Bundeswehr for field dining.
Cold War Military Provenance
Originally designated as the Feldessbesteck 4-teilig (TL 7340-0001), this standard-issue German military set was engineered for armed forces personnel serving in the field. Each component is manufactured from heavy-gauge, rust-resistant stainless steel designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions without bending or corroding during prolonged bivouac deployments.
Interlocking Nesting System
The clever interlocking design features a full-sized knife, fork, and spoon that slide securely inside a central protective sleeve. This heavy-duty casing doubles as an integrated can and bottle opener, keeping all four eating implements firmly locked together so they pack silently without rattling loose inside your mess kit or rucksack.
Field-Tested Utensils and Markings
Unlike flimsy commercial camping flatware, these genuine surplus sets deliver full-sized dining ergonomics with a serrated knife edge and a deep soup spoon bowl. Available in Grade 1 lightly used condition or unissued Supergrade, authentic sets carry original manufacturer hallmarks such as BUND, OFW, or TSR alongside military production date stamps.
Add this genuine German Army cutlery set to your mess kit for reliable field cooking and outdoor dining.
This item was used by the German Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
