First thing I thought was Ka-Bar when you said Military grade, so on some level it is an accurate description. Seems somewhat appropriate to the article since he went to an Army Navy store to buy it for the specific purpose of killing her. Military issue would have been more descriptive and accurate. Like calling a Chicago Cultlery knife steak grade instead of a steak knife, or a Bowie knife Crocodile Dundee grade instead of a hunting knife. A lot of people would not know what a KA-BAR looks like, but they could picture one with that description.
Sounds like a pretty horrific crime. FWIW, I can't get a flipper knife with a blade over 3 1/4 inches in my state and carry it concealed in my pocket, but I can get a KA-BAR fixed blade or a Bowie of any size, because it is worn on the belt. When you buy such knives, some are called flippers, and some are called tactical knives, with all that implies.
I think the point is that he bought a weapon as a weapon, to kill her and didn't just scoop up a kitchen knife and run out into the hallway. That sounds like accurate reporting. This was murder, cold and premeditated.
