The dagger is shaped in a similar fashion (v shape) to the sword of Ali Ibn Abi Talib (raa), the cousin of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). The engravment is not very clear, but it has the name ALI written on it 3 times. The Shiites are extremely fond of Ali (raa), that is probably why they replicate the dagger in that way.
