Question: Information:  - A dagger is a knife with a very sharp point designed or capable of being used as a thrusting or stabbing weapon. Daggers have been used throughout human experience for close combat confrontations, and many cultures have used adorned daggers in ritual and ceremonial contexts. The distinctive shape and historic usage of the dagger have made it iconic and symbolic. A dagger in the modern sense is a weapon designed for close-proximity combat or self-defence; due to its use in historic weapon assemblages, it has associations with maleness and martiality. Double-edged knives, however, play different sorts of roles in different social contexts. In some cultures, they are neither a weapon nor a tool; but a potent symbol of manhood; in others they are ritual objects used in sacred body modifications such as circumcision.   - A utility knife is a knife used for general or utility purposes.

It was designed by retired US Army Captain Bud Holzman , who based the pattern on a Roman Mainz Gladius . It has a 6.5 inch ( 16.5 cm ) double - edged spear - point wasp - waisted blade , and uses a distinctive handle similar to that of the Fairbairn - Sykes Fighting Knife developed during World War II for the British Commandos . The Mark II was commonly carried by U.S. troops in the Vietnam War , and was second only to the Ka - Bar knife in fame . The MK II was the suggested blade in Paladin Press 's controversial how - to book , Hit Man : A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors . During the Vietnam war , the first production run of this knife had a 5 - degree offset between the blade and the grip in order to ride in the sheath more comfortably and give the user a grip similar to that of a fencing foil . This design feature lead to a significant amount of knives being returned by users for having a `` bent blade '' , so Gerber discontinued that element on subsequent production runs . In the 1970s , the military 's base / post exchanges discontinued selling these knives , reasoning that they were `` not in good taste '' or `` too brutal '' . Al Mar , then working for Gerber as a knife designer , added the sawtooth serrations toward the hilt , marketing the knife as a `` survival aid '' , making it more appealing to the PX System , which resumed selling the Mark II as a survival knife , rather than a fighting knife . Gerber manufactured a scaled down version of the Mark II known as the Mark I. The Mark I had a 4.75 inch ( 12 cm ) blade and was marketed as a boot knife .  - The Portland metropolitan area or Greater Portland is a metropolitan area in the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington centered on the principal city of Portland, Oregon.
