Dagger
In GURPS usage, a short, point-only knife. Includes the hishi (Japan). Historically, the term described a double-edged knife with a crosspiece and a pommel – a tiny sword. In casual usage, it might instead mean a Rondel Dagger (p. 67), a Stiletto (p. 67), or any knife from Small Knife (pp. 67, 77, B272, B276) to Long Knife (pp. 67, 69) size.
