Who can tell me what knife it is, who designed it, and why it was chosen?

I know the answer, but will defer to those of you in need of education.
Don't PM me to ask, or I will report you to NDD.

Crossed Arrows:
Originally worn by Indian scouts. They were a symbol of peace to US Scouts. The crossed arrows served the 1st Special Service Force through World War II. Officers, unofficially, wore the insignia in the 60's and later was authorized authorized when SF became an official branch in 1987.

Better look again. Also, better check the Army's version of the lineage. Yes, it is wrong (at least IMO).
Your Google is weak Grasshopper.
