bronze dagger

Copper-alloy stabbing weapon

A bronze dagger is a short stabbing weapon made from bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.

Bronze daggers were among the earliest metal weapons, appearing in the Bronze Age (roughly 3300–1200 BCE) before iron smelting became widespread.

The term appears in archaeology, historical fiction, and fantasy games: The tomb contained a bronze dagger with an ornate handle.
