Ka-Bar
A utility/fighting knife first issued to the USMC during WWII. It served as a can opener, a trench digger, a log splitter, and proved useful in cutting roots, wire, and cable. Of course, when necessary, the Ka-Bar also proved quite useful in creating rather impressively large wound channels in the flesh of its targets. For the larger part of a century, this knife and its adapted variants accompanied the men who lived and died for the United States. Despite its rather dated design, this tool to this date maintains its value in the eyes of those who are always prepared.
From Marvel's "The Punisher":
Frank: "I gotta tell you, I do approve of your choice of weapons. What you picked, that's called a Ka-Bar. It's a Marine's best friend. You know, up close, I'd rather have this than any firearm. You see, with a gun, the target can get lucky. A bullet can miss what's important. But not with this. You slide it in, you guide it through and you rip right into the parts of a man that make him dead. There's no luck in that."
