I've always referred to the knife that comes with a set of utensils (fork, spoon, knife) a bread knife.

Interesting. Maybe that's a local usage. And maybe that's what was meant in this incident.

FWIW, the folks who deal in flatware call that a "place knife" or a "dinner knife." Place knives are certainly suitable for spreading peanut butter and of limited utility in hijacking or bringing down an airplane. <g>

[This discussion sent me down memory lane. I still have my original bread knife, which I got by saving Betty Crocker coupons when I was first married forty years ago. It's still going strong. Works well on watermelon, too.]
