Are you sure about this?

You study the narwhal hornblade carefully.
This long dagger is carved from the horn of a narwhal, and is inscribed with inky black runes. Along its exceptionally long grip you notice a bony nub.

...

The knife can be wielded in any hand. It can be used to cut.

So the blade can cut/slash, but it does not pierce/stab.

Here's a picture of a narwhal's horn:

Think about it for a minute. Take as long as you like.

Looks like a spear

It should stab/pierce and not cut/slash.

In all fairness it does say it's carved. So could be a carver with a stabby-phobia (Yes. that is the medical term) ;)

Try aichmophobia. Close enough.

Hah!

That is funny. I thought it stabbed, and I created it! Happy to run with Bud's take on it though.

I don't have a problem leaving it as is. Afterall it is a horn "blade", which by definition is the flat _cutting_ edge of a knife.

That a blade is carved from a stabby narwhal horn is the irony. What was the carver thinking? I should make a quest about the story of the non-stabby stabber.

Actually I'll make it stabby and slashy.

Although the quest would be a hoot.
