          "Be used for some medical procedures" is probably the most chilling thing I've read from this account.

          There seems to be one glaring omission from this list. Hmm, what could it be? Now what else would combat forces use a knife for?

          I'm assuming those procedures include field amputation cause it doesn't look quite like what you might call a precision instrument
