The Case Astronaut M-1 Commemorative 11.75-Inch Fixed Machete (Case part no. 12019) was released to mark the 50th anniversary of the first human steps on the Moon, re-creating a knife originally made for NASA’s Gemini and Apollo astronauts. The 11.75-inch as-ground high carbon steel blade combines a plain edge with a saw-ground spine, set into a smooth white synthetic handle finished to evoke a spacesuit. Case serializes each piece consecutively and ships it in a two-piece presentation box. It’s built as much for the display case as for the field, appealing to collectors and space-history enthusiasts alike.
