G.R.A.D. TM-Hybrid .22 Blank Firing Knife / Gun

G.R.A.D. TM-Hybrid .22 Blank Firing Knife / Gun. In the late 1990’s, the Global Research and Development (G.R.A.D.) Company designed the world’s first production fixed blade knife that held a multi-shot firearm inside its grip. GRAD produced four knives, three of which contained working .22LR double-action revolvers and a fourth knife which was a .22 Short blank firing version. The knife in each case was a high quality 440C heat-treated high carbon stainless steel single edged fixed blade. Inside the grips lay the 6-shot cylinder. This model contains integral pins in each cylinder to allow only .22 Short blanks. In the lower half of the knife handle a spring-loader trigger lever could be pulled down and when depressed would fire the revolver. Grips are checkered plastic with a fold down trigger in the front strap and a takedown button on the butt which disengages the hinged front section to reveal the cylinder and working parts.

This is a very rare and sought-after item and less than 1000 were produced. This is brand new in its original box and un-fired together with the handbook and associated paperwork.
