I was cleaning a pocket knife I have (1976 imperial) and it got me to thinking - were the chosen blades on the knife really the best configuration for a GI?

I carried a P38 can opener on my dog tag chain when I was in the service, and the awl and screwdriver were not in my ‘must have handy’ list….

Any thoughts? Were there other blade configurations ?
