匕首
（重定向自🗡）
 |
匕首指双刃短剑[1][2]，全长约在30公分左右。中国最早在夏代就出现，一开始为青铜制，到了战国时期因铁器的发达改用钢铁制。一般作为近战防备武器，可以对目标投掷或突刺。
匕首也是中国历代刺客所爱用的武器，著名成语“图穷匕现”即是刺客将匕首藏在地图的卷轴里以刺杀别国君王的行动，荆轲刺秦王便是一个例子。
外语
[编辑]现代人常常把英文的“Dagger”翻成匕首，而“Dagger”来自拉丁文“Daca”，指“Dacian knife”。
文学作品
[编辑]匕首经常出现于文学作品之中。较为知名的是莎士比亚的悲剧《马克白》。匕首贯穿全剧，无论在现实或幻境中，象征麦克白的暴力选择和野心。虽然他可以选择无视匕首，但他选择使用它。

Martin, 633 S.W.2d 80 (Mo. 1982): This is the dictionary or popular-use definition of a dagger, which has been used to describe everything from an ice pick to a folding knife with a pointed blade as a 'dagger'. The Missouri Supreme Court used the popular definition of 'dagger' found in Webster's New Universal Dictionary ("a short weapon with a sharp point used for stabbing") to rule that an ordinary pointed knife with a four- to five-inch blade constitutes a 'dagger' under the Missouri criminal code.

The State of California and other jurisdictions have seized upon the popular-use definition of a dagger to classify items ranging from a pointed kitchen knife to a tent stake as a 'dagger' under the law.
