I would have to say the British Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife

Though known as the FS Fighting knife, this was not designed to be a knife fighting knife, but primarily designed to be used in silent killing actions such as sentry take-outs. The techniques of effective use were taught to various special forces at Highland training centres such as Lochailort Special Training Centre (STC) and Achnacarry, which was the Commando Basic Training Centre (CBTC) from 1942-1945

You'll probably have quite a few who feel the Ka-bar/Camillus Marine fighting knife is the best military issue knife.

Although I have no clue, I can only wonder how silently anyone could kill another with a knife?

I've read the Besh wedge was all the rage with Spec Ops troops now.

Kukri

Kukri as issued to Nepalese Ghurka units is the hands down ultimate battle weapon. In the hands of a well trained warrior it is an absolutely devastating piece of hardware.

Son brought me one back that he traded for on his first trip to Iraq. That thing was built for one thing.

I agree, I love my issued AFO. It has a lot of miles on it and very little finish left. After over 8 years in the Infantry and two deployments I never found a need for anything any bigger. If it ever came down to fighting with knives I'd have to think I really screwed up.

I'd think if you slit someone's throat it would be a prettly silent kill. Guess we could ask OJ if that is true, since he has experience in the matter.

This is one my father brought back from the Battle of the Bulge. He never commented on it, but it must have worked pretty well.
