While I was in Iraq I used a CG Dumpster Mutt. It worked out really well. I mostly used it for cutting 550 cord, opening boxes, cutting sandbags open, cutting camo netting for our turrets, cutting commo wire. I small knife like the Mudd Puppy or Harry Carry would have worked good too.

Most of the knives I seen soldiers use out there was the Cold Steel tanto knives and folding benchmade knives that the PX sold.
