Day 61: You won't find many of these around. This is a stiletto, a dagger with a three-sided blade. It was custom-made for me to go with a mediaeval costume about 35 years ago when I was involved with a group called the Society for Creative Anachronism. Members of the group dressed in elaborate period costumes for events, and my involvement with the group led me to engagements in the "mundane" world as a performer on the harp. While I didn't carry the stiletto to my gigs, it was part of my regular regalia for group functions. I thought I'd lost it somewhere along the way, but just last week, I was searching for something else and came across it in a box appropriately labelled, "Odd bits."
