The distinctive shape and historic usage of the dagger have made it iconic and symbolic. A dagger in the modern sense is a weapon designed for close-proximity combat or self-defense; due to its use in historic weapon assemblages, it has associations with assassination and murders. Double-edged knives, however, play different sorts of roles in different social contexts. </p><p>A wide variety of thrusting knives have been described as daggers, including knives that feature only a single cutting edge, such as the European <a href="/wiki/Rondel_dagger" title="Rondel dagger">rondel dagger</a> or the Afghan <a href="/wiki/Pesh-kabz" title="Pesh-kabz">pesh-kabz</a>, or, in some instances, no cutting edge at all, such as the <a href="/wiki/Stiletto" title="Stiletto">stiletto</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a>. However, in the last hundred years or so, in most contexts, a dagger has certain definable characteristics, including a short <a href="/wiki/Blade" title="Blade">blade</a> with a sharply tapered point, a central <a href="/wiki/Knife#Materials,_features,_and_construction" title="Knife">spine</a> or <a href="/wiki/Fuller_(weapon)" class="mw-redirect" title="Fuller (weapon)">fuller</a>, and

The knightly dagger evolved into the larger <a href="/wiki/Baselard" title="Baselard">baselard</a> knife in the 14th century. During the 14th century, it became fairly common for knights to fight on foot to strengthen the infantry defensive line. This necessitated more use of daggers.

This was a response to the deployment of heavy armor, such as <a href="/wiki/Chain_mail" title="Chain mail">maille</a> and <a href="/wiki/Plate_armour" title="Plate armour">plate armour</a>, where cutting attacks were ineffective and focus was on thrusts with narrow blades to punch through mail or aim at armour plate intersections (or the eye slits of the helmet visor). These late medieval thrusting weapons are sometimes classed by the shape of their hilt as either <a href="/wiki/Roundel_dagger" class="mw-redirect" title="Roundel dagger">roundel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bollock_dagger" title="Bollock dagger">bollock</a> or <a href="/wiki/Ear_dagger" title="Ear dagger">ear</a> daggers. The term <i>dagger</i> is coined in this time, as are the <a href="/wiki/Early_Modern_German" class="mw-redirect" title="Early Modern German">Early Modern German</a> equivalents <i><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Dolch" class="extiw" title="wikt:Dolch">dolch</a></i> (<i>tolch</i>) and <i><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Degen#Etymology_2" class="extiw" title="wikt:Degen">degen</a></i> (<i>tegen</i>).

When used offensively, a standard attack frequently employed the reverse or <a href="/wiki/Icepick_grip" class="mw-redirect" title="Icepick grip">icepick grip</a>, stabbing downward with the blade to increase thrust and penetrative force. This was done primarily because the blade point frequently had to penetrate or push apart an opponent's steel <a href="/wiki/Chain_mail" title="Chain mail">chain mail</a> or <a href="/wiki/Plate_armor" class="mw-redirect" title="Plate armor">plate armor</a> in order to inflict an injury. The disadvantage of employing the medieval dagger in this manner was that it could easily be blocked by a variety of techniques, most notably by a block with the weaponless arm while simultaneously attacking with a weapon held in the right hand. Another disadvantage was the reduction in effective blade reach to the opponent when using a reverse grip. As the wearing of armor fell out of favor, dagger fighting techniques began to evolve which emphasized the use of the dagger with a conventional or forward grip, while the reverse or icepick grip was retained when attacking an unsuspecting opponent from behind, such as in an assassination. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Renaissance_and_early_modern_period">Renaissance and early modern period</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dagger&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Renaissance and early modern period"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Stiletto" title="Stiletto">Stiletto</a>, <a href="/wiki/Parrying_dagger" title="Parrying dagger">Parrying dagger</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Dirk" title="Dirk">Dirk</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Dagger_horse_head_Louvre_OA7892_full.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Dagger_horse_head_Louvre_OA7892_full.jpg/110px-Dagger_horse_head_Louvre_OA7892_full.jpg" decoding="async" width="110" height="472" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Dagger_horse_head_Louvre_OA7892_full.jpg/165px-Dagger_horse_head_Louvre_OA7892_full.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Dagger_horse_head_Louvre_OA7892_full.jpg/220px-Dagger_horse_head_Louvre_OA7892_full.jpg 2x" data-file-width="603" data-file-height="2586" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Mughal_Empire" title="Mughal Empire">Mogul</a> dagger known as the <a href="/wiki/Khanjar" title="Khanjar">Khanjar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Louvre" title="Louvre">Louvre</a>.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Dagger_with_Zoomorphic_Hilt_MET_DP253146.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Dagger_with_Zoomorphic_Hilt_MET_DP253146.jpg/220px-Dagger_with_Zoomorphic_Hilt_MET_DP253146.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="295" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Dagger_with_Zoomorphic_Hilt_MET_DP253146.jpg/330px-Dagger_with_Zoomorphic_Hilt_MET_DP253146.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Dagger_with_Zoomorphic_Hilt_MET_DP253146.jpg/440px-Dagger_with_Zoomorphic_Hilt_MET_DP253146.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2902" data-file-height="3893" /></a><figcaption><i>Dagger with Zoomorphic Hilt</i> possibly from the <a href="/wiki/Deccan_Sultanates" class="mw-redirect" title="Deccan Sultanates">Deccan Sultanates</a>, <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 16th century</span>, <a class="external text" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dagger_with_Zoomorphic_Hilt_MET_DP253146.jpg">Metropolitan Museum of Art</a> </figcaption></figure> <p>The dagger was very popular as a fencing and personal defense weapon in 17th and 18th century Spain, where it was referred to as the <i>daga</i> or <i>puñal</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the Renaissance Age the dagger was used as part of everyday dress, and daggers were the only weapon commoners were allowed to carry on their person.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In English, the terms <i>poniard</i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Dirk" title="Dirk">dirk</a></i> are loaned during the late 16th to early 17th century, the latter in the spelling <i>dork</i>, <i>durk</i> (presumably via Low German, Dutch or Scandinavian <i>dolk, dolch</i>, ultimately from a West Slavic <i>tulich</i>), the modern spelling <i>dirk</i> dating to 18th-century <a href="/wiki/Scots_language" title="Scots language">Scots</a>. </p><p>Beginning in the 17th century, another form of dagger—the <a href="/wiki/Plug_bayonet" class="mw-redirect" title="Plug bayonet">plug bayonet</a> and later the socket <a href="/wiki/Bayonet" title="Bayonet">bayonet</a>—was used to convert <a href="/wiki/Musket" title="Musket">muskets</a> and other <a href="/wiki/Long_gun" title="Long gun">longarms</a> into <a href="/wiki/Spear" title="Spear">spears</a> by mounting them on the barrel.
