Stabbing is something I am not enthusiastic about, but, knives are cool. Personally, I like these daggers.This is the Gile or Qolxad in Cushtic. It is commonly used in the Horn Of Africa. It was a warfare weapon. It is used for self defense, though only in life or death situations. Usually carried on the hip of its user. It was effective when paired with shields. The unique shape allows for it to be able to cut rather easy. Though, if you wanted. It would be perfect for stabbing with the extremely sharp tip. They are rather light being anywhere from 0.6 - 0.9 pounds on average. (0.3 - 0.4 kg) It is a blade of virility. Among other things, I personally think it's quite the lovely looking knife.
