Blitzz is correct IMO. We did the same--classified mtls, map, compass (lensatic worn around neck inside shirt and small one on wrist watch band) and survival items (including pocket knife) on person; cbt gear (including large knife) on harness; team/extra cbt/personal gear (including large knife) in ruck.

Now I carry a small 4" leatherman type with pliers, punch, saw blade w/notch to remove hooks, 3" knife, 1" scalpel-like knife, can opener, screw driver. Wish I woulda had one of those back then when I carried a demo knife of about the same size/weight.
