To be honest with you, I don't. I've never been one of those guys, even in the military. If there was something I couldn't fix with duct tape, a bayonet, or the correct application of plastique, I just deemed as being too temperamental to be in a combat zone.
But I'm sure they are a great addition to an operations bag for rear echelon maintenance or something of that sort. I just can't justify keeping one on my personal gear. I do have this beside my IFAK though;

With the straps and cutter, etc.?
It is the same knife, sheath and straps, minus the strap cutter and its little case.
And no, that survival one is not in stock at any of our distributors.
