That's another item that should be put on the "GI wish list". EMT shears go for $4-5, are great for cutting webbing or seatbelts, and should be carried in the top of a boot when flying in aircraft. They're also handy for trimming branches and stuff when making camouflage, or clearing foliage away from your field of fire. For that kind of money, you can't go wrong. Just get them with black handles, and not the flourescent EMT colors out now.
