French dagger for comment

I find it interesting that it has such curvature as if for cutting while having a foiled blade. Usually trifoil or quatrefoil blade is so to stiffen the blade against flexing and reinforce the tip. As in almost exclusively thrust oriented. Such blades are typically strait, with the tip riding the center line. The design of this seems self defeating. It wouldn't be as good of a Stabby McStaberson as it could be were the blade and handle strait. But due to the foils, Even with a sharp edge, it couldn't cut very deeply either.
