KNIVES & DAGGERS The double-edged blade of the dagger (pictured on the right) makes it a good stabbing and slashing weapon. Although not designed strictly as weapons, any sharp knife (such as the meat cleaver and butcher knives pictured here) can injure someone. They are very small weapons, however, and best relied on only for defense. Of course, any bladed weapon (including axes and swords) can double as a tool for collecting meat and sometimes feathers or hides from a carcass — in skilled hands, a blade can even be used to shear sheep.
