Daggers belong to the Thief approach
Daggers are the weapon family associated with Thief's close-range approach. Thief Pawns can use the family, and the Arisen can also equip it as Warfarer. They are not smaller Fighter swords, so looking only at a higher Strength value in the sword list can lead to an incompatible purchase.
Use the Thief profile for the vocation's actions and learning requirements. This family page does not prescribe a button sequence for a skill you have not unlocked or claim that swapping daggers changes your vocation.
Bardiche Daggers reference
The shared table also includes Bolts from the Blue. Its recorded acquisition is chest at Windworn Gully. Read the source and access notes before treating it as an available upgrade.
Bardiche Daggers are the current named example. The record links the item to Celeste's Smithy and the Nameless Apothecary and preserves its unenhanced attributes. Either vendor is a place to check; visiting both is not a prerequisite.
2 selected daggers records. Base reference values before enhancement, reviewed 2026-10-12. This is not an exhaustive list or a current-patch gameplay test. Each name links to its canonical acquisition record; the row's source supports its recorded values.

Compare more than the headline number
Our selection advice is to compare compatibility, enhancement state and the role you want the character to fill. Check your actual stamina and skill descriptions before adopting someone else's sustained-attack setup. A weapon table cannot prove a combo is sustainable for your current character.
The reference's zero Magick and None element describe this particular item as recorded, not a rule that all daggers are non-elemental. The row also does not encode climb damage, critical-hit frequency, a guaranteed stagger or an enemy-specific damage multiplier.
Use the source without duplicating it
Open the linked item source when an acquisition detail differs from your game. A correction should update the shared equipment record, which is then reflected here and in Gear Finder. For preparing the trip, use exploration basics. For party needs that a close-range character is not covering, see Pawn party preparation.
