This I kinda got from reading the thief claw thread. Now I know a Sai is real, as well as Khanjar, I can't think of any luck (which I am) daggers that are real. Anything else out there a real dagger? Wish any were real? I do, Dragon Tail, what a beauty lol.

Ravordyn : I believe that they were used as more of an opportunistic weapon to take the other fighter off guard, but here's a short wiki article for your pleasure: Korean Fighting Fan is a martial arts weapon spawned during the early Joseon Dynasty as a weapon of opportunity. Swords and similar edged weapons were banned during this time which created a need for weapons that could be held in plain sight without arousing suspicion. Most popular among the middle class and upper class, the fan became an option. Craftsmen discovered a method of taking the "pak dahl" wood, an extremely resilient birch tree that thrived in the ice storms and harsh seasons of Korea's mountain peninsula, and tempering to a hardness that could resist edged weapons typical of the era. [edit] Variations of Fighting Fans Following traditions of traditional weaponry, Korean Fans were often unique to their wielder and bore many possible combinations. Some wove a flexible metal ribbons along the outer most edge for cutting power. Some preferred feathers that hid finger-sized razor blades which would rake upon striking. Others held variations of poisons or were used to conceal other weapons such as throwing blades which could be released in a spread upon snapping the fan open. Poison fans often hid deadly to stunning concoctions in bladders or channels which would open upon spreading the fan, allowing the user to gently direct a gust of toxins at their opponent over short distances. Folklore also suggests occasional traveling merchants trading with China possessed fans with small compartments in the vanes of the fan which held small explosive pellets that upon striking a surface would create a bright and dazzling flash of light. i think the japanese version it's called tessen and it has 2 styles a solid piece of iron with the form of a closed fan and a normal fan with iron ribs btw i think double dagger would break in RL even fulltang also asura dagger since the tips r like in an arows shape which would prolly weaken the structure and triangular zamadar it's ok if it has an iron or steel or high density plastic handle

Lol yea I missed a few oops, the fruit knife and razor I didn't really think were worth mentioning, but oh man the Kunai dagger, duhr my bad. I think the Dragon Tail just isn't well designed in the game, it looks thick when you swing it; more like a blunt weapon rather than a dagger. I can imagine though a bagh nakh type of dagger is possibly where the idea came from, I gotta go to a meeting I will return I think another dagger is similiar to the DT can't find atm!
