Could they not just use the NASA astronaut knife?

I hope it is like the AF survival knife.

With a bonus pouch on the sheath for the moon rated fire starter.

I will pay for one of these. Definitely.

We have to jump on this while it's still a meme. Eventually the Space Force will be nerds and computer programmers. (Not cool, not sexy, but needed.)

Right now it's Space Shuttle door gunners, space marines and warp drive

I've always had a fondness for the 5" Kabars like the Mk I and their prewar models.

My first thought was would it penetrate a xenomorph... then, i thought no, it's got acid blood...

But it does need to be sharp in. Ase they have to go hand to hand against grays or reptilians...

it's really more of an egress knife, cutting oneself out of the fuselage.

fieldcraft is secondary

Some sort of acid resistant polymer is probably called for.

Vintage KaBars as historical items are pretty cool.  Modern stuff is just junk.

Space Force will have all the glamor of those guys who live in missile silos waiting to push the button.

If a fancy new knife makes them happy, I’m happy for them.

Technically not a Kabar as it was made by Camillus. Name on the sheath is that of a WWII marine who earned two Purple hearts in the pacific.

I do have basically the same design in a Camillus I bought used. The more modern style knives like Esee do have more stout full length grip, but if you aren't going to baton one does it matter?

About batoning, I guess not. Mine was an actual K bar and it didn't seem to keep an edge very well. The coolness factor was off the charts but it never really worked for what I actually mostly use knives for which is skinning and processing game. I usually don't sell knives, even if they are duds, but a co-worker was talking about getting one and I mentioned I had one somewhere I would let him have. He was happy with it and I made a lifelong friend so...
