A tactical knife is any knife designed for use by the military.

But even within the community of people that understand that these knives are designed for military use, there is still the misconception that these knives are intended for close combat. This simply isn’t the case. Many of these knives are actually used instead for general utility. As such, it is common for a military man to use his knife solely for clearing foliage, opening various crates, chopping small branches, or any other small general purpose job that might arise.
