Which knives have really been endorsed by the army - at some time?

We still had "Ka-Bars " when I was in(01-05), but they were actually Ontario or Camillus. We issued them to 240 gunners. Our standard at first was the M7, then the new Ontario Bayonet "knife fighting/utility".
 
I know we're not talking sexy here, but haven't the Victorinox soldier and trooper knives been issued to personnel in a number of nation's armies, like the Swiss, German, Dutch, and others?
