Fixed Blade Or Folder For Soldier In Afghanistan?

Nope! Maybe a few soldiers in specialized units are issued knives. The average soldier is not. He has to buy his own.

That comes as a surprise,not to say a shock! Think you'll find many Euro armies issue a standard knife. Thanks for rhe info.

No problem. I believe there is a thread about being able to donate knives to soldiers. I think it's a Sticky on the 1st page of the General discussion forum.
 
Standard issue euro knife is a two blade swiss army type slip joint spear master and saw/cap lifter/can opener blade.

I've got one each in OD and synthetic stag. They're OK, but I didn't even think about them when I deployed. I took a SAK, Gerber Covert, and cheap multiplier.

Had I gone in the sandbox I'm not sure I'd chosen much differently, but after the fact, I would choose a higher quality multitool.
