Best Answer

There is no "standard" knife used by any military personnel. There are basic guidelines by which soldiers may chose a knife to carry and use, provided primarily that knife is displayed on their service uniform. But the only knife regularly issued by the US military has been the Marine K-Bar for combat infantry troops during Vietnam, and the M9 Bayonet.

Personally, I carried two knives in the field in the early '80's when I served: a four inch folding, lock-back Buck knife, and a 6" Boker double edged boot knife.
