The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) only need an hammer and a pair of pliers. Because if you can’t pull it out, then knock it in.

Modern Military Khukuri Style
This is the style currently used by Gorkha forces. The standard specifications are 15" long with a mass of about 600 g. A similar knife is issued in the Nepalese Army. The Nepalese Army knife is somewhat smaller, at about 13" and 500 g
Info from Khukuri (http://www.himalayan-imports.com/faq/MilitaryStyles.htm)
Great site showing examples of Khukuri knives used dating back to WW1
