Overview

The silver dagger is an ornate short blade given to Farnese by Flora and Schierke so she can help fend off the trolls swarming Enoch Village. Its strength rests not in any enchantment but in the metal from which it is made.

Function

The knife runs no more than a foot in length and is finely decorated, its rain-guard and crossguard twisting in a W-shaped curl while the grip echoes the same double-helix pattern down to a pommel cut like a crescent moon. Silver holds strong protective power against wicked beings, which is what makes the weapon effective, and Farnese uses it to shield Casca from the raiding trolls.

Notable Users

Farnese wields the dagger throughout her travels with the Black Swordsman. When she briefly heads back toward the Vandimion household to talk her wealthy father into lending Guts a ship for reaching Skellig, she returns the blade to Schierke as a sign of that intent, and it comes back to her once she chooses to stay with the group.
