A dagger is the blade nobody talks about and everybody carried. Short, double edged and built for the thrust, it lived on a belt beside the knife and got used for everything from eating to settling something in a doorway. These run from fourteen to twenty inches overall, which is the useful range for the shape.
Guards, pommels and marks
Grimleaf is the plain Norse one, seventeen inches overall with a knotwork cut guard, a disc pommel and a leather sheath. Duskthorn is the longest at twenty inches with a smooth black grip, a knotwork engraved guard and a tan leather sheath. Bonewhorl is the Celtic entry, fourteen inches overall with a nine inch double edged Damascus blade, a carved bone handle and Elder Futhark etching. Goldplume is eighteen inches with a rune engraved blade, a brass winged guard set with a red cabochon and a red scabbard, and Wingcrest is the shorter version of the same idea at seventeen inches. Trenchknot is the outlier, a fifteen inch bayonet with a Valknut etched fuller and a ribbed steel grip.
They sit in dagger knives, alongside the rest of the Norse blades in Viking knives. For how the shapes differ, read types of daggers.
