Description:

This exquisitely crafted dagger bears a silver blade around a steel core and a cross-guard that evokes an outstretched hand. Its slender, hooked profile lets the wielder catch organs and tendons to control a foe without immediately inflicting mortal harm. Mastery of the blade demands exceptional dexterity, but grants terrifying precision—critical strikes rend with brutal efficiency or can instead ensnare a target in a punishing grapple.
