Cdn knives
God forbid that the Cdn Forces should issue a fighting knife to its soldiers!!
The closest you get is the Russel "Boat Knife" which has been on issue to some troops for the past 40 or so years. I got mine when I went on a jump exercise and kept it rather than turn it in. My son now uses it and when he gets an opportunity to steal one, I mean, gets issued one, then maybe I'll get mine back.
This is not a fighting knife but rather a knife to use for cutting your shroud lines should you get tree'd.
The FS knife has always been attached to "commandoes' and other elite troops but it was, in fact, available to the Poor Bloody Infantry as well.
