All blades have a personality of their own. The K-Bar and the British Commando knife are the two most recognised standard issue weapons in recent history and each have their advocates.

However, the single best knife in the world is the one that is used by an agile and adept expert. Personal preferences abound including the modified Randall Number One, the heavily reshaped and refinished Puma and the very excellent, and easily modified and refined Military Issue meat Cleaver.

What best knife?If you go to an infantry company of 250 men, you'll probably find 80 different knives attached to their load-bearing equipment.

The thing about Gerbers (which are excellent knives, don't get me wrong) is they're sold in all Clothing Sales Stores, so they're easier to get than many other brands.

Most guys carry either one or two knives Into the Woods. The first one is something like a Leatherman tool--people used to carry Swiss Army knives, but the pliers in the Leatherman come in REAL handy when you're trying to fix a broken generator at 0300. If you're going to carry a second knife, something like the Gerber LMF II, or another ka-bar style blade, is fine. Very few units issue knives anymore--they'd rather spend their unit funds on things like bedsheets or five-gallon water cans.

- M40's Two Cent Addendum... What is the best knife?Ahhh... a question I've struggled to answer all my life. I even bought a forge, grinders, buffers, etc. I make many of my own blades and consider myself a decent bladesmith. I thought I was doing quite well until I came across the Busse Combat line of blades. I know of no other blade for ANY amount of money that will stand up to the kind of hard use and abuse that a Busse blade will. A Busse blade will shrug off abuse that leaves other blades in pieces.

A close second is either Scrap Yard Knife Co... or Swamp Rat Knife Co. Both of these are approximately half the price of a Busse, but will withstand almost as much abuse. These folks happen to be related and share some trade secrets... secrets I'd love to know!

What kind of abuse am I speaking of? Well, all three of the companies mentioned above test their blades by chopping through cinder blocks with no breaking, no cracking, and no damage that can't be undone by a few minutes of sharpening. Their blades are bend tested to 45 degrees and beyond with no damage, and will spring back to true. I've been beating up blades by all three companies for a few years now, and I enjoy owning blades I don't have to baby.

As someone who's spent a lifetime subjecting blades to extreme hard use, I can confidently say that these are the best I've ever come across by a wide margin.

I would recommend going with two different knives: one best suited for cutting vegetables and one best suited for cutting cheese. A good vegetable knife would be the Henckels Four Star II - 3"" Vegetable Knife. It slices wonderfully and easily. A good cheese knife would be the Wüsthof Gourmet 4 1/2-Inch Cheese Knife. It won't stain, lasts a long time, and has a great sharp edge.
