You get a dagger in Europe, but their PhD programs are generally shorter and less difficult, so you need the knife to get back to parity with American PhDs. (Personally I think the entire concept is borderline a scam, but whatever.)

I’m sure it would come in handy sometimes, though!
Mildly related, this scene just popped into my head:
“Excuse me, I just need to go get my Doctor Glove”
“what’s that?”
“The glove I wear when I bitch slap people who don’t call me Doctor. It’s embroidered.”
