I noticed the different knives mentioned, but I've seen the "one knife" issue come up in many threads and always wondered why someone would limit themselves. In the real world, I carried more than one knife because I recognized the limitations of the AFSK; and I agree on the poor tip design -- a simple drop point would be much stronger. In my next tour I had the para-riggers swap out the AFSK in my vest for one of my own and I still carried the small folders.
