    Looks good. I suppose knives and daggers are on the same? since I didnt see it amongst the blank ones.

      Daggers are usually between Knives and Sword, but yes. The regular “dagger” is in the Knives category.

      To elaborate a little. Daggers have almost the same standard as knives and when I create daggers I usually start from knives. But Daggers have the possibility and to be used as slash weapons. So it’s not entirely true in all cases. Plus that big “knives” and daggers are either counted as a Swing Weapon or a Short Sword. So it’s sometimes more similar to the Swords than the Knives even though it’s mostly a heavy knife?

      You understand?
