I'm not Military, but when my father was in the Marine Corps in the 70s he was issued a KaBar Big Brother.

A lot of guys these days receive the Gerber 06 Auto

This is pretty much just the fixed blade version of the 06, but some guys get the Gerber LMF

I would love to get into fixed blades sometime. Had my eye on one of these. Just gotta find the money
I looked at that, but it's only an inch longer than his current one. I might consider upping the budget and getting the BK9 because is has the 1095 steel. However the Big Brother is cheaper and also has the better steal. But does he need an over-sized marine fighting knife for processing deer? I don't know. I think a blade over 6" is impractical for meat processing, but that's what he wants.
