I was wondering, could i get a knife now and use it in the RM when needed / allowed? Also how often are knives used by the marines?
What sort of knives do they use? (lock / hunting style / etc.) What size too?
If anyine knows where to get decent knives from please share. Any websites aswell.
cheers, -Jamie-

The simple answer is yes.
And as to the style and type, i'm sure you'll get many diffrent answers.
The common style is to get a multi-tool like a leatherman/ gerber or any of the numerous other versions available.
Some blokes opt for expensive brand's, while other's swear by a cheap one from any tooling shop (B&Q as little as £5).
I personaly use a Letherman supertool 2 (pliers, screwdriver bit's, knife, and whatever else their is on it).
I use it regularly, and keep it in a 9mm magazine pouch i got hold of along with a torch, pen and whistle.

I quite like the knive I proffed off a Helo Pilot. Simple but robust and always sharp.
One bit of kit I used was a wooden spoon with the handle cut down. Not joking. Ideal for getting scan eaten quickly. A quick wash and back in you jacket pocket. saved you burning your lips when eating scran at the rush.
Forget messtins get a good old metal mug and water bottle. you can cook scran in it, eat from it, after a quick rinse you can then drink your wet from it. A strip of HBM on the rim saves you burning your lips when tea is hot. Anything to save time is a boon when in the field.
