I don't reject satanic daggers having been around and it makes sense to me since the dagger is used in so many different cultural rituals that it too would be used in satanic ones. I do think they would have been very covert items as simply being in the vicinity of one could be cause for execution as a heretic.
I said above I believe there is historical evidence of satanic cults. I agree with David that the accounts were probably exaggerated and the accusations were abused. Those actually involved may have been the ones seeming most pious to their neighbors. Think about when a criminal is caught today and the neighbors talk about how they were always quiet and never caused issues or problems.
I am however open to debate on what the true meaning of the symbols on this dagger are
