Duellist's Dagger
a variety of Main-Gauche

Pathfinder 2nd Edition Statblock
his weapon is specifically designed to be wielded in the off hand of a swordsman. In addition to providing a second pointed (or edged) weapon to strike with, it is actually designed with defense in mind.
An overly large and sturdy basket hilt protects the wielder's hand while allowing the weapon to be used as a shield to block attacks from an opponent. Some hilt designs also include upturned "arms" which can be used by a skilled duellist to trap an opponents blade - and sometimes even snap the blade in two.
