The dagger is the smallest combat short blade. In raw damage, it is outclassed by the short sword. However, the dagger receives the largest stabbing bonus in the game. See the Stabbing page for more details.
Backgrounds that lend themselves to a "stealth-and-stab" style of combat (such as brigands and enchanters) may go through the entire game with a dagger, or at least use it as a secondary weapon. A skilled stabber with a good dagger can one-shot sleeping dragons and giants with ease.
