Medieval dagger misericorde was a long, narrow knife, used to deliver the death stroke to a seriously wounded knight, it was also used for killing an active adversary, as during a grappling struggle. The blade has a triangular cross section, thin and strong enough so that it could strike through the gaps between armour plates and penetrate the metal mesh - isolated with clipping path
