>>1042647
You should really be asking your fellow soldiers instead of 4chan.

>>1042715
soldiers spend a lot of time in the woods/outdoors, so he's gonna be setting up camp, doing camp chores, maybe he'll participate on a survival course, escape and evasion exercises.

I'm biased, and the commies on here will probably get upset, but my workhorse is and always will be my Buck Special. A friend found it wounded on the bank of the Potomac and nursed it back to health. He gave it to me when he decided to start trainhopping and I have proudly worn it since. Is it too big? Yeah. Is it too heavy? Probably. But it's simple, holds an edge, tough as nails, and a good fighting knife to boot. If it was good enough for Hayduke, it's good enough for you.

I haven't read a Monkey Wrench Gang reference in years. What an enjoyable waste of time that book was.

Going camping with the lads next week, can someone recommend a poorfag a good knife for under 20 quid?

It sounds to me that you need the cold steel bowie machete.

Or maybe the coldsteel gi tanto.

Sorry about being so insitintive with cold steel, but it is the only brand i know that makes tactical-good quality knives.

Mora companion. You'll eventually buy one after u spend about $200 on several other knives and its the only one youll actually take /out/

Mora

>>1042861
I didn't mention combat needs because it goes without saying. It's pretty fucking obvious that it needs to be robust enough for stabbing.

>>1042753
what a faggot picture

>>1043504
Does it really? Is any modern military actually expecting grunts to fucking stab people? Aren't you issued a rifle and sidearm? Aren't you generally operating with a group of people who are also similarly armed?

Idk how the British military operates, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't look like Gangs of New York.

Fuck off, hippy.

>>1042647
i had an esee 3/4 on me for my first two deployments.

i prefer the 4 for general use and abuse.
however the 3 is my edc because its smaller and great for food prep and as a general cutting tool.

>>1043102
I have this. It's basically a sharpened leaf spring.
Probably too big, but immensely tough.

GI Tanto is a good alternative.

The standard M9 bayo has zero functionality as a knife.

Ontario Knife Co makes the OKC-3Sb Marine bayo and it is much much better than the M9.

Consider a Tomahawk instead.

>>1043523
Soldiers have used knives for self defense in recent conflicts. Imagine room clearing or working closely with locals, you can get pinned to the ground where you can't fire your rifle. Britshits also did a bayonet charge in Afghanistan btw

I'm seconding this. It's the outdoorsman's best tool.

What are you going to do with it?
How big do you want it?
Stainless or Carbon?

I've used mine to limb (small) trees before, no batoning, just swinging that heavy bitch like a hatchet. I once dropped it on my laptop and cracked the hdd in half. I've cut wire with it. The edge never rolled; a little time with some 1000 grit sandpaper and it was razor sharp again.

>>1045049
I forgot that I also have used the pommel to dispatch multiple animals in my traps. It could fracture a human skull with ease.

Are you trying to turn the 119 into a meme?

Extremely sturdy, retains an edge until the end of days, excellent for bushcraft; and obviously if it's good enough to split oak (it is) it's good enough to split stomachs.

One of the best all rounders you can get.

Glock knife. Cheap as fuck and sturdy enough to be used as a tool all the time. Or go get one of those Finnish skrama knives or whatever. Thats definitely a tool and it's so fucking big you could probably take someone's head off with it

>>1045110
No, all truth; no memes here.
I just forgot some stuff on the trapline a few times (hatchet, wirecutters, dispatch hammer) because I'm not much use after getting up at 4;30 with no coffee. The Special just carried me through those times when I had to improvise. It's a heavy knife made of hard steel, so it stands up to a lot of abuse.
(The aforementioned tree limbs were the stubs left over on a skinny ponderosa pine truck after the lower branches dropped; was making a pole set for fishercat without my ax)

>>1042647
reservist canadian eh

>>1042647
Seriously just get a Mora with some oil and a sharpening stone. You'll learn valuable skills of sharpening and the discipline to clean and oil a steel blade that is not rust resistant.

You'll be amazed the edge you can keep on them.

>>1043523
If the military wants you to stab people they will issue you bayonets. We only used our bayonets for parades but I wasn't infantry. In the field you have your E-tool and whatever knife you have which is usually a pocket knife or a multi-tool knife.

Some people had fixed knives and hatchets, but in general it was either an E-tool for big stuff or a sharp pocket knife for little stuff.

>>1046653
You sure you don't have the 120 General?
