Oh god, i forgot about that. And i even posted it here a while ago!
It should fit the bill just nicely.

Also, why is there so few long daggers? Is it because a clip point is just about as useful?

Pretty simple, really. Size/effectiveness ratio. Get a bigger knife, cut down on other gear you can carry. Knife = useful, knife<gun, thus take more weight and space with a gun. Plus, a long dagger doesn't have any real advantages for most people- if you want a longer blade, go thicker, and go for a different style of attack- kukri, bowie, etc. For quiet, quick, and easy movements, which is what a dagger is good for, then you are better served with a more concealable package.

If you're looking for a wall hanger, then that's fine. But for actual usability- well, carry around a full size, 6-10 incher, and tell us if it makes sense to have it be a more fragile type or a more robust one.

Remember, they actually issued a 2/3rds scale F/S knife for urban training and usage, because they realized that it's not that realistic to have a full sized on in urban conditions.

If it's big, I want it to be durable. Cuz it's for the zombies.
