Eickhorn FK2000 & KM4000 German Military Knives | Made in Germany

The Eickhorn FK2000 and KM4000 are German made field and combat knives manufactured by Eickhorn Solingen, a company with blade making roots dating back to 1865.

Both knives draw inspiration from the legendary KM2000, the standard combat knife adopted by the German Bundeswehr in 2003. Developed to replace the older 1968 Bundeswehr field knife, the KM2000 became one of Germany's most recognizable modern military knives, known for its distinctive Tanto-style blade, rugged construction, and military carrying system.

Building on that military heritage, Eickhorn developed the FK2000 as a more affordable and practical field knife. Inspired by the KM2000's rugged design philosophy, the FK2000 features a black finished spring steel blade, grooved synthetic handle, and traditional nylon belt sheath. Although influenced by the original KM2000, the FK2000 is a separate field knife model rather than the standard Bundeswehr-issued combat knife.

The KM4000 expands on the KM2000 platform with additional field capabilities, including a sawback spine, integrated wire cutter, and diamond sharpening surface. Designed for demanding military and survival applications, it represents a more specialized evolution of Eickhorn's modern combat knife family.

Both knives are manufactured in Solingen, Germany, continuing Eickhorn's long tradition of German military knife manufacturing.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
