Yep
Yep. Gerber is crap. You're right about the trekker. I just checked and it' "available to purchase through efense Logistics (has an NSN), but isn't a standard issue item.Plenty of units do not issue knives, and trust soldiers to bring their own based on preference. I know people who have brought swords, machetes, and axes to country. The only stand alone knife I saw get semi-issue was a Gerber sheepsfoot knife. I happily traded this junk away.

Standard issue all purpose tool was Gerber 600 multi tool with blunt nose pliers. I somehow would get these issued to me all the time. I always kept one set unopened in case they asked for it back. Otherwise they always broke on me. I preferred my Leatherman Wave on durability alone.
