    Knife, Combat, Utility The next military issue survival knife Standard Issue since World War II Most are familiar with the Air Force & Navy aircrew survival knife with 5 inch fixed blade from Camillus is now manufactured in accordance with U.S. Government specifications by the Ontario Knife Company. In addition, jet pilots and select crew members with ejection capability were issued the MC1 or M724 automatic rescue knife with 3 inch clip point blade and parachute shroud cutter. This knife was issued from 1957 until 1993. In lieu of the MC1, helicopter pilots and crew are issued the Camillus Model 1760 folding pocket knife with their survival vest. This stainless steel knife is equipped with 2.75 inch blade, can opener, cap opener, screw driver, and awl/punch. This folding knife is also standard issue with ground combat elements and has been around since 1945. It has been affectionately known by troops as the Demo Knife. Official Issue Swiss Army Knife The Swiss issued model 1961, a similar knife to the demo is named the Soldier by Victorinox and Standard Issue by Wenger. In 2003, Victorinox released a 111mm series of knifes known as the Trailmaster based on the German Army Knife. Not to be confused with Cold Steel’s Trail Master Bowie Knife, Victorinox renamed this knife Trekker. Offered with a one-handed open blade, the Trekker became very popular in the United States. In 2008 the Trailmaster/Trekker knife was officially adopted by the Swiss Government to replace the Soldier model 1961. The new Soldier features a one-handed serrated locking blade, Philips screwdriver, can opener, small screw driver, bottle opener, large locking screwdriver, wire striper, reamer, wood saw and key ring.

    GEAR KNIVES Opinel Number 8 Opinel is famous for making wooden-handled 5 4 camping knives.

The blade features a Virobloc double-lock system, but I still found it a bit wobbly WORDS NICK DALL Everyone loves a good pocket knife. so I wouldn’t use it for anything too hectic. PICTURES JAMES GARAGHTY R380 awesometools.co.za These days there’s something for every outdoor occasion. We put 12 of the best knives and multi-tools to the test. Victorinox New Soldier’s Knife Victorinox has supplied the Swiss Army with knives 5 5 5 for more than a century. This is their current military- RATING /5 issue product. It’s a good-looking unit and it’s lovely to hold. The main blade opens easily and is lockable, KNIVES TOMATO and most of its length is gently serrated, which BILTONG makes slicing biltong a breeze. A knife is a great thing. All of these knives are defined by their blades. It’s got a nice long saw, but this isn’t lockable. The CAN OPENER Some have other gizmos, but their calling in life is to cut stuff. Phillips screwdriver is fantastic, but why it’s in the middle of the knife is anyone’s guess. Just try getting to a corner screw! There aren’t as many tools as there are on the other Victorinox, but the blades are better and are made of thicker, stronger steel.
