Poniard

Poniard (PON-yerd) is a small, slender dagger; to stab with a poniard.

Poniard comes from the Latin word, pungus, meaning "fist". The Old French word poignal literally refers to something held by the fist.

"I could have reached for my poniard which my father had gifted me on my birthday and stabbed the assailant before he could attack me but I just couldn't grabbed it out from my boots.  I struggled only to wake up and found out I was all alone in my room."
