Which army issued/issues the best knife?

[Ben98]

I just wondered what the all round best army knife is.
are there any secret gems that are overshadowed by the SAK?
Tell me what you think

 

[tiger stacker]

do you mean a knife as in fixed blde or locking ?

Leatherman got in January 2004 was handy

 

[Ben98]

It can be either as long as it has been issued to an army at some point in time

The British army knife was pretty good. (small folding one)

And the MOD survival knife seems to do pretty well.

Ka-bar??

The British army clasp knife... No bells and whistles, does exactly what a knife should.... Cut things, really well

Another vote here for the British army jack knife.The Smatchet was pretty cool too..FS knife...
I also like some us military knives like M3's, Ka-bar ect...

Its gotta be the British army personally!

Camillus Demo knife: after the SAK Soldier, but just perfect

The Canadian issue Russell style knife makes a pretty fine bushcraft/hunting knife. Here's my dad's issue circa 1966.

which of the british army knives is better the one with or without the marlin spike?

 

[Everything Mac]

I had one of them stamped 1945 - it had the spike on. Worked well for me as my very first knife!

The Swedish army issued the bog standard Mora for many, many years...

 

[Squidders]

That's pretty much it then... I doubt there is a member of this forum that wouldn't, with confidence, recommend a Mora as a brilliant all-round bushcraft knife to anyone.
