Which technique is a High Knife Hand Block?

Explanation:
High knife-hand block uses the edge of the hand (knife-hand) to deflect an attack at head level. In Korean terminology, Soo Do indicates knife-hand technique, and Mahk Ki means block. Sang Dan pins the technique to the high section, so Sang Dan Soo Do Mahk Ki describes a knife-hand block performed high. The other options point to either a palm-block variation (Yup Mahk Ki), a different height (Ha Dan for low, Choong Dan for middle), or a two-handed form (Ssang Soo), which do not match the high knife-hand block.
