IDF does not need any knifes at all. Pistols can be useful in buildings though.

Pistols and rifles do you no good if you run out of ammo and/or find yourself in a survival situation.

Knife weights several hundreds of grams, instead of it u can take another 30 bullet mag. It will be much more useful for survival.

None to the IDF, looks like none to anybody, what a frustrating web site, no mention of prices, and nowhere on the site to place an order. How do they stay in business like that?

Unlike extra ammo a knife is a tool. In addition to being used as a weapon, it can be used for a multitude of other things; building a shelter, catching game/fish, medical uses, starting a fire, and the ever important opening your beer bottles. Sure, you can shoot the top of a beer bottle off with a pistol but I wouldn't want to drink the beer afterwards.

Knife as tool needed for lone soldiers, i.e. snipers, maybe some SF. Company of soldiers is not going to hunt animals or build shelters with knives. Knife weights half kg, thats hell lots of weight.

Snipers, soldiers that are separated and/or behind enemy lines, pilots...these are survival situations...depending on where you are a good survival knife can be more important than a firearm.

I would not want to be in a survival situation without a good knife and be thinking "at least I didn't have to carry around that extra 0.85 lbs.". But I suppose it's a matter of preference.

Regular infantry soldiers dont hang around behind enemy lines and dont need any knives. SF may need knives in some cases. But they are equpped well, dont worry.

You need a knife for dozens of things. I.e. cutting ropes, making small splints of wood to start a fire, cutting through canvas cover etc. Without a usefull knife a soldier has big problems. I knew.

That's because they have other retailers that sell, here is a site that sells them and their about 200+ dollars.

You realize that the IDF always fights close to the supply line, we don't have vast open spaces, or jungles. Every company surely has some knives in it but there is no need to issue a knife as a standard personal accessory, especially since the combat gear weighs too much anyway. And in a company is stuck without a knife in some arab slum, surely they can "borrow" one from the locals.
