Little sleeve or bodice dagger
Just a sharp little dagger suitable for sleeves, or in a lady's bodice.
It has an antler grip, and I think its already sold.
Single edged.
This one is based on an old piece I made when I was a teenager and used forever for leatherworking as an awl for punching holes.
I still have that one, although its gotten a bit grimy with time.

Oh yes.
I have made repros of most of these WW2 era covert daggers- Including pitchfork tine daggers.
I might still have one of the tine daggers lurking in my junk box....Maybe I should go look?
The thumb daggers are a common shape for making small bodice daggers as well, and I've done a few.
Mostly only beveled on one side for simplicity.
I did a LOT of these kind of knives back in the early 80s, when there were no sources to buy similar things.
By the mid 80s, action movies like the Rambo series had created a market these sort of small, concealable knives.
And you could buy dozens of different types for cheap at any flea market or tobacco shop.
That trend continues now, though many of the styles that were common back then have gone out of production and are now hard to impossible to find.
These days, I am mostly called upon to make medieval era repros, so I don't make many of these anymore.

Never happier than with a grinder and any piece of steel. Essentially I make bad small knives out of larger good ones. I carry a crude blade on my keychain, sometimes, but for the most part I never carry weapons at all. I have made some interesting things out of leaf springs, but I no longer have the fascination for weapons that I had in the eighties. The latest thing I did, last year, was turn my old dive knife into a kriss. Looks just like it sounds. I did enjoy that thing on the viking sword as I am sure you did, watching that smith temper that blade was like porn. My fave hand weapons are Roman era.
