A military survival knife is one of the most important tools that any member of the various military units may carry. Of course a gun and ammunition is extremely important, but because of the many moving parts in a gun and the possibility of running out of ammo, a knife is the perfect tool. It won't suffer from breakdown and does not need any other accessory to make it work. It can be used as a last resort in combat, or a handy tool that has many other uses. Digging a hole, cutting rope or cord, or even using it in food preparation, a military survival knife can help a soldier survive on the battle field.

As for the U.S. Military, various branches of the military currently carry different knives as standard issue. For example, the U.S. Marine Corps use a 7" Ka-Bar knife, which is officially called the USMC fighting knife. The Navy Seals, an elite, highly trained unit of the U.S. Navy uses a SOG Navy Seal Knife. During a war, a unit of the military may use different knives, depending on availability.
