Dagger

A dagger is long knife with two sharp edges, typically designed to be used as a stabbing or thrusting weapon. Daggers have been used throughout history by nearly any creature intelligent enough to sharpen a blade. Daggers have been mainly used for their small size, which allows them to be easily concealed and quickly used as a sidearm, though many cultures use them in ritual and ceremonial contexts.

Fighting with Daggers
Daggers are known to be easily used by even the most untrained fighters, due to their small size and easy handling. Since they are stabbing weapons, a fighter's primary goal with a dagger is to pierce their enemy in a vital location, such as the heart, lungs, throat, or abdomen. Due to their small, size a dagger can not often be used to dismember a person, making it a generally clean weapon.

Thieves and assassins hold daggers in high regard, as they can be stored away beneath cloaks with ease.
