Military Issue Pocket Knives - 04/09/2020 01:31 AM
This is something that we have never discussed as a topic on GDC. Many military formations had issue pocket knives. Some were general issue and others limited to certain occupations, like the Luftwaffe's paratroops.
Here is one that I have had since the early 1980's - the first Swiss Army Knife. It was a WWII issue and came with a leather pouch. The pouch has a snap closure and a little gimlet through which a string can be run. I am told this first issue is hard to find and the leather pouch is rare.
