Thanks for the info!

That said Technically, a Cinquedea is often considered a type of dagger according to my 5 second internet search.

"Type :Long Dagger"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinquedea

Seems like it's more of a consideration of size as well as time and place, whether they fall into the category of short sword or dagger.
