Three Military Folders by Victorinox: German Army, Swiss Soldier's, U.S. Combat Utility Knife.

In this episode I take a look at the modern German Army Knife, Swiss Soldiers Knife and the U.S. Combat Utility Knife and the knives they previously used knife they were designed to replace.
I take a much closer look at the U.S. Combat Utility Knife and try to shed light on some of the misconceptions of this exceptional knife. This includes delving into if the knife is replacement for the Mil-K 818 or just another tool in the modern U.S. Military.



Some acronyms will be shown during the video. The information below will be helpful for folks who are unfamiliar with them. Both knives are listed as "A" (Active) in the supply chain. They would be listed "F" (Obsolete) if no longer in service.
