The bulk update request #2182 is pending approval.

create implication dagger (4204) -> knife (14963)
create implication holding_dagger (495) -> holding_knife (2085)
create implication holding_dagger (495) -> holding_weapon (44678)

Reason: A dagger is a knife. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagger?wprov=sfti1
Since not all knives are necessarily weapons, but a dagger is, holding_dagger should also imply holding_weapon.

Does this mean that sword is also a knife?

Rather make a bladed weapon tag.

No, a knife is specifically a short blade. Swords are longer than knives. From Wikipedia:

Dagger:
A dagger is a knife with a very sharp point and usually two sharp edges, typically designed or capable of being used as a thrusting or stabbing weapon.

Sword:
Its blade, longer than a knife or dagger, is attached to a hilt and can be straight or curved.

I could add that to the BUR. It can’t be implied through knife, as not all knives are weapons, but dagger can share the tag with swords, axes, most polearms, and other weapon knives.

On the other hand, dagger and sword both already imply melee weapon, and I’m not sure that we need a bladed weapon subset of that. With a few exceptions, most melee weapons have blades already.

And maybe clean up and implicate blade?

Good points.
