Bodkin
A bodkin is more polished version of a shiv. Where a shiv is generally made from whatever item a convict can sharpen and punch into a fellows back, a bodkin is created to be a weapon from the get-go.

Technically, a bodkin has no edged blade. Its sharp point is what gets the work done. Originally, bodkins were created to punch through knight's armor. Perhaps due to this, it bears the stigma of being a weapon yielded by peasants, footpads and thugs.
