The '''Falcon Knife Earrings''' is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' franchise. Like its [[Falcon blade|larger variant]], the falcon knife earrings attack twice per turn. However, they can only be wielded by female characters in most installments, and possess a lower attack bonus. To compensate for this, both strikes can inflict [[Critical Hit|critical hit]]s, be amplified by [[Oomph]] and [[Focus Strength]], and do not suffer the percentage reduction of the sword.
