DAGGER (short blade)
====================
Weight: ~0.5 kg
Rank(s): 1st row

        The typical dagger has a pointed, usually double-edged blade,
as opposed to a knife, which has a single edge and is a bit shorter
than the dagger.

        The dagger is one of man's oldest weapons. The first daggers
were most likely hand-held spearheads used by cavemen, made of bone
or stone. Bone daggers are made from the bones of large animals such
as reindeer and bison, with one end sharpened and the handle carved
to resemble the animal from which the bones came. Such daggers are
relatively fragile, and stone replaced bone when early man discovered
how to work with stone.

Some skill(s) usable with the weapon: 
  Bladed fury, battlecry, bloodlust, cardiac stimulation, 
  damn armament, lure, pierce, short blades, stab and vampiric blow.
