Knife

A is a type of blade weapon.
==Overview==
It is generally small, although its most distinguishing characteristic is that it has one sharp edge. However, some knives, known as daggers, have two edges. Similarly to guns, knives come in different shapes, sizes and variants for different purposes, such as kitchen knives for cutting up ingredients for cooking, meat cleavers and butcher knives for cutting up meat, box-cutters for opening boxes, Bowie knives for hunting, switchblades for self-defence, and combat knives and bayonets (for attaching to the muzzles of rifles) for combat.
