A double-edged fighting knife with a sharp point that can be thrown from afar. Seen by some as a weak weapon of last resort, others appreciate it as a perfect tool for assassination.

This weapon falls into the Short Blades category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is best used by the dexterous.

It can be thrown at enemies.

The dagger is the smallest combat short blade, extremely accurate but surpassed in terms of damage by the short sword. The dagger receives the largest stabbing bonus in the game. Backgrounds that lend themselves to a "stealth-and-stab" style of combat (such as assassins and stalkers) may go through the entire game with a dagger, as a skilled stabber with a good dagger can one-shot sleeping dragons and giants with ease.
