I was given a supply of these nkives (daggers) to issue to my indige. I didn't really have a use for the knife. It had a diamond shaped blade which was good for stabing but useless for cutting. Yhe brass handle and knob were good for ringing someone's bell.
I issued them to my team and they became a real status symbol. Only the Special Projects Teams had them. They wore those knives everywhere. Check out the linked picture, click on it and you will notice they even wore the knives for PT. I have some movies of them which are hilarious.
