Can anyone tell me anything about a dagger tattoo on the left forearm of Korean War veterans?
I'm not certain, so many of my contacts who served in the Korean War have regrouped beyond, but I believe it has something to do with those who served and fought in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir (or just Chosin) where US, UK, and mixed UN forces were hideously outnumbered by the Chinese and North Korean armies. Much of the fighting was in close quarters or hand-to-hand, which would be the significance of the dagger.

North and South Korea were divided at the 38th parallel. The Yalu River which runs between North Korea and China. When UN forces approached the Yalu the Chinese had the excuse they needed to enter the war. The Han River which runs through Seoul also influenced the war when bridges over it were destroyed to slow the North Korean advance. The port of Pusan played a major part in the war, providing a disembarkation point for arriving reinforcements and supplies. The Chosin Reservoir near Chorwon in North Korea was the location of one of the most historic battles of the Korean War. Heartbreak Ridge, Porkchop Hill, Suwon, etc., were all important in the war. Seoul itself, as the cultural and political center of South Korea continues to play an important role in the war. Of course, Panmunjom, where the peace talks are ongoing, is a very important place.
