The Mark 1 went into production in 1976. It was made in a couple of different configurations over the years and finally discontinued in 1997. In a further attempt to create a dagger that wouldn’t get customers into trouble with the law, they came out with the Command 1 in late 1979. Almost identical to the Mark 1 in size and shape, it differed in one important way. Instead of both edges being sharpened, the Command 1 had one edge fully sharp and the other side had the top third of the edge serrated. This was enough of a change to make the Command 1 legal in many areas where a fully double-edged dagger was forbidden. The Command 1 was in production until 1994. Like the Mark 1, there were a few variations along the way, primarily regarding the steel used.
