Daggers and fighting knives are short blades carried as personal weapons or as combat and survival tools by soldiers. A weapon belongs here when the infobox of its cited article names it a dagger, knife or combat knife. It excludes bayonets, which are fitted to a rifle, and swords, which have longer blades. Weapons in this group are placed by what their own cited article states, so a visitor browsing daggers and knives sees only systems whose sources name that role, and can compare them across eras, makers and the forces that used them.
