Favourite knife will always be the Kbar knife, but a Gurkha knife is very nice.

the M1905 Bayonet is a favourite

the blade is 16 inches long.

Here are two sites that give you a problem, picking a knife. Don't get stuck on a brand, choose what you would use if you were in his place. My carry knife is a custom job by a local knifesmith (overpriced). I ordered a straight D2 steel, epoxy powder coat, tanto style point, half serrated blade. Anything over 5-6 inches is not necessary, he put a 6 inch on mine. The handle material is a composite like Kraton and the hilt and pommel are steel also powder coated. I ordered a scabbard from a place on the web that is a ballistic nylon cloth with leather leg tie downs.

Anything can be etched now, most everything is laser cut, it's much better than engraving. Some of these dealers are giving military discounts, it won't hurt to ask. Thank your Brother-in-Law for me for his service.

I like the new Marine bayonet, OKC3S (Ontario Knife Company 3 Serrated).

I also like the Bundeswehr knife KM2000.

And nothing will mess up your enemy worse than a Gurkha Kukri in your off hand for when your handgun runs dry.

I like:

A 12 inch - "Split Blade" Double Bladed Kris Knife (wavy). (Looking for one - will probably have to order from Knifesmith.

================================================== ======

Presently have 5 inch "Split Blade" - Single Bladed Conventional Dagger (straight).

(and)

14 inch Blade - Double Edged rapier style dagger (designed to be used with one handed sword).

(and)

12 inch Blade - Survival Knife - Single edge - sawback edge - compass handle with survuval equipment in handle (needle & thread, hook and fishing line, matches and "mini-saw" rope to be used with a branch as a saw).

I also own a Naval Enlisted Cutlass and a 30 inch Double Edged two handed sword.

Am looking to buy a 45 in long sword of the Excaliber class of broadswords.

To be honest my fav is the good old reliable M16 Bayonet that I first learnt the bayonet course with. So reliable and simple.

BUT, I do like the M9 bayonet very much....

As you can probably guess I'm not much of one for fancy folding knives or big rambo hunting knives. I only take my bayonet and my issue clasp knife in the field, I don't see the point when they do everything I want.
