No picture available of this new menacing knife but I'm curious to see one, from a respectable distance.

Schweizer said the Multi-Purpose Bayonet is best used on the enemy...

Hello, Mr. Obvious.

"THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW MULTIPURPOSE KNIFE IS TO *KILL*, SIR!"

Nope, it's just missing something.

Despite the new features, you can still see the WWII USMC KaBar lineage in the blade and handle. Now every Marine can, in fact, have a true fighting knife.

I would hardly call a knife that:
1. is a bayonet
2. is a fighting knive
multi purpose. Dual purpose - yes. Multi purpose - no.

Anyone know if it comes with WIRE CUTTERS? How about a sharpening stone on the scabbard? Is that too much to ask?

[sigh]

Every Marine that has a rifle as their weapon

I thought that was all of them. Has something changed?

It is psychologically damaging because of the fear it will bring to the mind of our adversaries, he said. It projects a manly looking, fear-invoking presence...

Will this be in our line with our putative CIC's more sensitive war on terror? /sarcasm

Good looking knife. I will admit that when I read "multipurpose" I thought it would be some sort of Leatherman. Will it be available at surplus stores?

BTW, when I lived in the UK, knives like this were illegal to own, let alone carry. Can't have "assault knives" out there attacking folks.
