Dagger (Standard)

Specs
Chasseurs must own a personal dagger for use against armoured opponents. As one will not be provided, Chasseurs will be given guidelines on the make of their personal dagger:


 * 1) The dagger’s blade must be the length of the user’s forearm
 * 2) The blade must have a triangular or diamond cross-section that reinforces the point
 * 3) The blade must be straight
 * 4) The blade must be of good quality, tempered steel
 * 5) The blade must taper steeply to the point
 * 6) The grip must fit only a single hand, and be easy to grip
 * 7) A serviceable edge must be present on at least the upper third (near the tip) of the blade
 * 8) The dagger must have a durable scabbard (and not a sheath); to be mounted horizontally on a belt

A Chasseur’s dagger is a vital sidearm, to be used in very close quarters, or against grappling/armoured opponents. It is due to this, that Chasseurs, while deployed or on duty, wear their dagger at all times.

The dagger must:


 * Be well maintained and sharp, with a mirror polish
 * Be worn horizontally on the small of the back, as pictured (See Gallery):
 * The grip must be pointed towards the wielder’s dominant side
