==Overview==
==Design details==
The energy dagger is the Sangheili adaptation of the [[Forerunner]] ''[[misericordia]]'' blade-tools.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} The design bears much resemblance to the [[energy sword (fiction)|energy sword]]. Unlike the energy sword, however, it ends in a single point as opposed to the dual prongs of the energy sword. It appears to be mounted to a device worn on the wrists of the user. It is possible to use two daggers simultaneously, with one on each wrist.{{Ref/Reuse|RE}}
