General purpose knives of my youth. They were available, cheaply, everywhere after WWII and Korea; we used the heck out of them. Every tackle box, tool box, work shop, and trunk had at least one or more.
Cast metal grips were preferred!
Thanks for the memories!

You're welcome,,,,,,,:beer1:

Neet stuff John,But in my tenure,we did not have anything to cut,all came in cans we heated over C4

Yep nothing in c-rats needed a knife , except the toilet paper. Tc

I had a few of those leftovers in 79,, I actually preferred them over the MRE's that first came out,,,, I loved that "pound cake" you guys had,,,
