I know of no generally issued knife to Army troops. The M9 bayonet is issued to most troops for which the M16A2 is their personal weapon, but I would hardly call this a knife. When you try to make something accomplish two missions, it probably does not accomplish either as well as dedicated item. The mechanics in the units I commanded had the standard "U.S." stamped pocket knife as a component of their tool boxes, but I've never seen a general issue of either fixed blades or folders--not like the USMC combat/utility knife (actually a Camillus or Ontario manufactured knife) issued to practically every Marine, even if they are issued an M9 bayonet.
On second thought, the Camillus pilot survival knife--you know, leather handle, steel pommel for pounding, 5" blade with sawteeth in a light colored leather sheath with metal tip--is issued to all Army aviators as part of their survival vest gear.
Bruce Woodbury (recently retired Colonel, Quartermaster branch, National Guard of the U.S. and Idaho Army National Guard--only added to increase my stock when people ask, "what the heck does he know about it?"
