a machete I know a lot of Army special-ops men, and in this case Army SF and Navy SEALs are probably a lot alike. It really doesn't matter what the current standard issue knife is, because no one is carrying it. A lot of them like Ka-Bars, there are a lot of Gerber BMF knives in the force, some guys like Randalls... They like single-edge knives that are about 7" long in case they need to kill someone with one, but killing is a very small part of what you do with a combat knife. More important is how the knife feels in the hand, and how easy it is to sharpen. i have a us navy knife my grandfather gave me. on the scabard it has U.S.N. MK2.the blade is 6 and one half inches long.the handle is 5 inches.it is single blade curved up at the end exactly like a bowey knife. it will hold a razor sharp blade. it is one deadly knife.the top of the blade is three sixteenths thick.
Whatever they buy. Knives aren't an issue item, and soldiers buy them on their own.
The US Army issues several types of knives, and in addition to that soldiers can carry their own knife or knives. Most popular and widespread models are Buck M9 field knife, which also doubles as a bayonet, Kabar and Ontario military knives. During Vietnam era SOG bowie was issued as a standard knife.
There was a trench knife issued to US Army troops that was a knife that had a "Brass Knuckles" handle. Brass Knuckles is a brass "ring" that you slip over your hand, each finger going into a loop. This is used for hand-to-hand fighting. The knife had this same construction as part of the handle/grip. I'm not sure if this was an official Army issue. The Army preferred the soldier carry a bayonet that would fit onto the rifle. This brass knuckle trench knife couldnot do this.

Well, friend, during World War II, the standard issue camouflage for US soldiers was known as the M1942 "Frogskin" pattern. This camo featured a mix of green and brown splotches on a khaki background, helping our soldiers blend into various environments. It's important to remember the brave men and women who served during that time and the sacrifices they made for our freedom.
