The '''divine dagger''' is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It is a simple knife that can typically be equipped by any character or vocation, making it useful for those who cannot wield heavier weapons. Later games in the series gave the dagger the ability to deal increased damage against monsters of the [[undead family]].
 
==Characteristics==
The divine dagger has had two distinctive designs throughout the series, both with relatively simple designs. The original design has a simple short blade, but a beautiful handle with a red grip, a gold and red crossguard decorated with a small blue gem, and a red heart-shaped pommel decorated with gold edges and another small blue gem. Starting with ''IX'', the divine dagger is an upgraded version of the [[bronze knife]] with various runes carved into the blade. In ''XI'' and ''Tact'', the blade is now a light purple-silver color with gold on the pommel and crossguard and a darker purple handle.
