A modern dagger is a fighting knife with a relatively short double edged blade designed primarily for thrusting but capable of slashing in either direction. The typical profile is similar to the Fairbairne Sykes Fighting Knife used by the British Troops in WWII or the Celtic sgian-dubh.The name is from the Middle English word dag "to pierce or stab" and is related to the name of triangular hanging edges found on medieval chain mail which was similar in shape. At that time a typical dagger was the misericorde, a long thin dagger used to stab between the plates of a fallen knight's armour to kill him after he was down.
