Daily Carry Co – DCC14 – Parachute 1911 Edition – Gravity Knife – M390 Satin Clip Point – Grade 5 Titanium – Gray

The Daily Carry Co. Parachute 1911 Edition brings together modern materials, minimalist engineering, and classic American design inspiration in a distinctive gravity knife built for enthusiasts who appreciate both function and heritage. Drawing visual cues from the iconic 1911-era aesthetic, this special-edition Parachute features a traditional clip-point blade profile, dual fullers, contoured titanium construction, and a refined sand-blasted finish. The result is a compact, lightweight design that combines a vintage-inspired appearance with contemporary knife materials and precision construction. At the heart of the Parachute 1911 Edition is an M390 stainless steel clip-point blade. The clip-point profile creates a pronounced point and curved cutting belly, giving the blade its unmistakable classic silhouette. Dual fullers add visual character while reducing material through the blade and maintaining the streamlined appearance of the design. M390 is a premium stainless steel known for its combination of edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it a fitting choice for a high-end everyday-carry knife. Daily Carry Co. also identifies M390 as the blade material used throughout its Parachute lineup. The handle is machined from Grade 5 titanium and receives a sand-blasted finish for a subdued, refined appearance. Canted finger grooves are incorporated into the grip, adding a distinctive ergonomic element while reinforcing the 1911-inspired character of this edition. The contoured handle provides defined indexing points in the hand while maintaining the clean, minimalist construction that has become a hallmark of Daily Carry Co.’s Parachute family. Deployment is handled through a gravity-assisted slide mechanism. Rather than relying on a conventional spring-assisted opening system, the Parachute design allows the blade to deploy through gravity and controlled movement. Daily Carry Co. describes the Parachute as a gravity knife, while its earlier TiSlide documentation identifies the same 100 mm closed and 170 mm open dimensions and 91 g weight supplied for this edition. The proprietary magnetic retention system complements the minimalist three-piece construction. The magnetic design helps retain the blade in its closed or deployed position without the conventional spring-and-detent arrangement, contributing to the Parachute’s clean mechanical architecture. Independent coverage of the 1911 Edition specifically notes its magnetic retention and distinctive clip-point/fuller combination. With its combination of premium M390 steel, Grade 5 titanium, gravity-assisted deployment, and historically inspired styling, the Daily Carry Co. Parachute 1911 Edition offers a distinctive interpretation of the modern gravity knife. At just 91 grams, it remains compact enough for everyday carry while delivering a substantial 170 mm overall length when deployed.
