We (2d Bn 8th Marines) were never issued knives outside of bayonets and those Marines who were issued M9s got a Kabar. We all carried CRKT M16s, though. Likely because they were always in the PX, and pretty cool. They work great for throwing at each other's boots, too...
I always carried a SOG Sealpup because it was rugged enough to beat around as a utility/survival blade and small enough to not be ridiculous. I've bought them for friends as "deployment gifts" as I think a good knife should be a part of an infantryman's kit - whether it's a SOG or not.
Good thing for me, their factory outlet store is just down the street from my place.
