push dagger
T-handled stabbing blade
A push dagger is a short knife with a T-shaped handle designed to be gripped in the fist with the blade protruding between the fingers.
The handle sits perpendicular to the blade, allowing the user to stab with a punching motion rather than a slashing one.
Push daggers are compact enough for concealment and associated with self-defense and close-quarters combat.
