in some MOS's yes, others no. I believe most MOS's that deal with the flight line do. I had a friend who was in armament, and he always flaunted the fact that his unit issued him one and mine didn't. There was also a safety poster that said not to leave a multi tool on a chopper after you get done working on it. Another factor is how a unit spends money. Each unit only has so much cash to spend in a year. If a commander feels the need for every troop to have a milti tool, he'll make it happen.

MilidarUSMC...and Time.... I was chuckling while reading your posts because moments before I was reflecting on the imagery that movies have put in my head over the years for the military, like with the Marines. Need to cut out a bullet? Use the knife. Need a toothpick? Use the knife. Need anything else? Use the knife. I guess you could even climb a tree if you had a pair of them to dig in like a peg board. |

Hi, I'm Canadian army, here and everyone in the Canadian forces gets a multi-tool, we started with gerber, but because of its sliding mechanism, it created static electricity and was no good around C-4... so we now carry the SOG multi tool

The USA may not issue one, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to issue everybody in the Armed Forces a Leatherman or something like it.

I know SF teams (some of them anyway) get the Mission MPK, or Multi Purpose Knife, but it's far from multi purpose. It's a titanium knife that's practically impervious to erosion. Nice piece of work, but metal is a bit soft. MOD also makes a tactical knife (CQD Mark VI Stinger) that can be used as a pry bar, utility knife, or fighting knife. They aren't exactly like the Leatherman's or Swiss Army knives, but they serve as pretty decent multi role fixed blade knives.

I don't think so. I have a leatherman wave. It's quite nice.
