Bab 967: A Hidden Expert, The Unappreciated Wares of Yasuo the Blacksmith

Day 318 - 3:18 PM - Four Squares Equipment Shop, Toyosu Wholesale Market, Toyosu, Koto City, Tokyo

"Hoh... A knife? Hmm... No, it's a dagger, huh." 

The blacksmith, Yasuo, stared at the weapon Mark handed him with interest.

What Mark gave the old blacksmith was a strange-looking dagger.

How strange-looking? It was an eight-inch dagger with a five-inch blade. The dagger had a general size and shape of a regular kitchen knife. However, while the tip and blade were thin, its spine was thick.

A knife was for slicing and slashing. However, even though what Mark showed Yasuo was shaped like a knife and a one-sided blade, the sharp edge curved nicely at the tip, encompassing the end part of the spine. That curved edge showed that it could be used for stabbing, as a dagger was primarily used.

However...

"But... I can also serve as a minified axe, huh."
