I have no real info on this - just to say - Just because something becomes codified/catalogued by the Military does not mean that it will be issued en masse, or even at all - it just means "it exists" as far as the organisation is concerned, and if need be, could possibly be acquired and used.

So the US Army has identified this item - Whether they intend to buy 100,000 or just 10 remains to be seen.

Just because an item has a NSN number does not mean it's "official issue". It just means it's available purchase through General Service and Accounting. If an Item gets a NSN the manufacturers and retailers use the fact to jack up the price. Still I really really want one now.

Ok, so these three are all the same tools but the only diff between are,
This one is u.s. And is black anodized
https://tgsops.com/product/knife-combat-utility/
This one is German army and doesn't have the black anodized and is half the price
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B197RE/ref=s9_simh_gw_p468_d0_i1?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=NQ8JCPTV5D5MPRPNC62R&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=0ec6e99f-b963-416f-8393-1be7eb21a03c&pf_rd_i=desktop
Yet this one is not green but is black and not black anodized yet has the toothpick and tweezers.. But of course still have the price..
