I wonder if the "Long Knives" reference shouldn't also refer to the Arthurian expression "Night (or 'Treachery') of the Long Knives?" It seems the expression was subsequently used to describe an assassination in Afghanistan in 1841, Hitler's putsch and slaughter of SA leadership and civilian critics in 1934 on pretext of preempting treasonous plans of predominantly homosexual conspirators, and a British Cabinet purge in 1962. ^[1]
