As a Soldier I normally carried two (or three knives when in the field); for convenience a small Stockman for penknife duties and early on a Leatherman Multi-tool, later a SOG multi-tool. When in the field I carried an issue bayonet in a scabbard (when issued a rifle as an EM or junior officer) and later a "fighting knife" (bayonet type knife) when standard issue became a sidearm. He probably has a good bayonet or fighting knife; get him a nice pocket knife, a Case or something similar.
