lancet
Small pointed knife
A lancet is a small, sharp-pointed surgical blade used to make incisions or puncture skin—the kind used for blood draws and finger pricks.
The word extends to anything with a similar pointed shape: a lancet window is a tall, narrow window with a sharply pointed arch, characteristic of Gothic architecture.
The nurse pricked my finger with a lancet.
