Like a lot of things, there is no hard and fast specification - and so you can find things that one person might call a dirk, another a dagger, another a knife. When does the length go from dagger to knife? Can a long knife be a dagger, or does it need two sharp edges?

That was my point. I can see the AKTI takes the same view.

Thanks for the link:

A typical example is an 1837 legislative enactment in Tennessee which provided, “Any person who carries under his cloths, or concealed about his person, a Bowie Knife, Arkansas Toothpick, or other weapon of like form, shape, or size, is guilty of a misdemeanor. . .”. (Section 6630 of Shannon’s Code)

Now why did Bowie knife become a ubiquitous term but not Arkansas Toothpick?

What else is there:

Texas Steak-knife?
