Perrin Number 5 Scorpion

Perrin Number 5 Scorpion (no box)

The No.5 is a popular design worldwide. Created in the nineties by the French knife

maker and combat specialist Fred Perrin, this compact personal protection tool, in its

original format, is often carried as a neck knife.

The knife is built around a single index finger hole, serving a few combat driven

functions such as being able to not lose the knife if for some reason the user must open

his hands. Also, the hole is a formidable guard to protect the hand during defensive or

offensive use, without the downside of a traditional guard that can get caught in clothing

during deployment.

We gave our No.5 a short G10 handle with finger grooves to maximize retention during

combat. The VG-10 blade comes with a serrated swedge. This blade design is optimal

for personal protection since it can be used for stabbing and slashing using forward and

reverse grip variations. Made in China (Station IX). Like new.SPECIFICATIONS
