I haven't been to Iraq - but have been in the Active Army and the National Guard (Korea Active, Montana Guard). I have a ASH1 and BATAC for field use right now, as well as a Gerber 06 Auto (a lot of guys are getting those lately). A whole lot of Gerber LMF II's now (that knife sure is growing on me - I like it). I still see a lot of "Ka-Bar" style knives as well, and the Benchmade Stryker autos. Always a lot of multi tools - SOG, Gerber, Leatherman, etc. Spyderco folders are popular as well (and carried at the PX - Gerber, Spyderco, CRKT, Cold Steel, Smith and Wesson, etc - some real crap in the mix!)

In the event that my unit does deploy, I'm going to be getting in touch with Dumpster Dan regarding a special run! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
